Henry Tudor

Henry Tudor was the victor of the Battle of Bosworth. He claimed the crown of England on that battlefield after the death there of Richard III of England. The fact that the corpse was actually that of William Shakespeare made little difference to the progress of history, since everyone believed it was the Richard. Tudor was the grandfather of Elizabeth I. (AUDIO: The Kingmaker)
