Henry VII became the new King but we are septic about his legitimacy...
 |
| King Richard III & King Henry VII |
Indeed,
Edmund Tudor, Henri's father, was the son of Owen Tudor and Catherine
of Valois who was Henri V's widow. It's why Edmund Tudor was just
half-brother of Henry VI. He didn't have royal blood in his veins.
What's
more, Henry is Margaret Beaufort's son. Margaret was a descendant of
John of Gaunt , Edward III's son. John of Gaunt was also the father
of King Henry IV. But John of Gaunt wasn't legitimate to the
throne because he was the third son of Edouard III, true heirs of
Lancaster's House were descendants of Lionel od Antwerp, second Edouard
III's son.
In
reality, Henry VI designated Henry VII as his heir because his son,
Edward of Wesminster died at the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471 so he
didn't have any heir. It's
why, Henry VII haven't any legitimacy for Lancaster's throne. So we
can think Henry couldn't become the King. Moreover,
with John of Gaunt's illegetimacy, a part of Lancaster kings didn't
have to put on the throne and they ursuped it to trues Lancaster
heirs, it was the main reason of the war... Now, Henry is part of
these kings...
