never have happened.
Charles VIII promised Henry VII 40,000 liver but only gave 10,000 liver. In
order to get a substantial amount more, Henry VII pawned some items he owned.
Henry VII was promised liver but didn’t quite get the amount he was hoping for.
This was helpful for Henry VII but he never received the right amount of money
promised. Meaning that he couldn’t spend a lot of money on Soldiers and
preparation. Causing Henry VII to suffer in the Battle to follow. This fact didn’t
help Henry greatly on his seizure of the English thrown. France also promised
Henry VII soldiers but he was given Franks Archers Instead. This foreign aid from
France was helpful, but not as helpful as it would have been if France had given
what was promised. Henry has not got very skillful soldiers now so yet again
Henry VII will suffer in battle again Richard III.
Betrayal to Richard III also helped Richard to the Thrown. As Lord Stanley
(Henry VII’s stepfather) communicated information that he had heard about Henry
VII, to Henry VII without Richard III knowing. This also links into Foreign aid as
with knowing that Henry VII was going to go underhouse arrest again Brittany let
Henry VII flee to France. This is important to Henry VII getting to the thrown, but
not as important as foreign aid. Betrayal to Richard III, is not as import as foreign
aid. As foreign aid was the start of Henry VII's seizure. Whereas betrayal to
Richard III is just a stepping stone in the middle of Henry VII's seizure. Making it
not a major factor.
Henry also had an advantage as Richard III had lost the trust of his nation, by
putting the north nobles in charge of the south of England. This gained further
support for Henry VII from the south of England. Gaining Henry support for not
even lifting a finger. This helped Henry VII’s fight to the thrown but all by Richard
III’s doing. This is not a major factor in the seizure to the English thrown, it helped
Henry VII, but he could have gained support without Richard III loosing the trust
in him as a nation. From Richard III loosing support France was more eager to
support Henry VII’s conquest.
Henry VII’s actions also helped him to seize the thrown. Such as promising to
marry Elizabeth of York. This made the Lancastrians and the Yorkists seize
fighting. This was very clever or Henry VII as now he had both sides supporting
him. This was on par with Foreign aid, to the importance to getting Henry VII on
the thrown. As Henry now has noble families on his side rather than Richard III
creating more Solders, as noble families will now give Henry some of there own
Solders. This will help Henry VII, as France didn’t give what they’re promised.
Henry VII will now be able to fight Richard with a fair amount of soldiers that he
has gathered.
In conclusion Henry VII’s more important factor, which helps him seize the
English thrown is foreign aid as in comparison to all of the other factors, Henry
VII could not have traveled to England, also he would have still been stuck under
house arrest in Brittany. All off the factors are inter linked with each other.
Meaning that Henry VII couldn’t have attacked Richard III without any of them
Happening. Foreign aid over all is the most important though, as he would not
Have had a chance to fight Richard III without the help that he was given.
