It could be debated whether or not Henry VII was a great King, but he was clearly a successful King. He had several goals that he had accomplished by the end of his reign. He had established a new dynasty after 30 years of struggle, he had strengthened the judicial system as well as the treasury and had successfully denied all the other claimants to his throne. The monarchy that he left to his son was a fairly secure one and most definitely a wealthy one. [x] Henry unfortunately was always overshadowed by either his predecessor Richard III or his son and successor Henry VIII who were to become two of England’s most infamous Kings.
