Henry VII, the first monarch of the Tudor dynasty, was commonly known as the “Father of the Royal House of Tudor.” This nickname reflects his foundational role in establishing the Tudor lineage following his victory at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, which marked the end of the Wars of the Roses.
His reign symbolized stability after years of conflict, and by marrying Elizabeth of York, he unified the warring houses of Lancaster and York, thus solidifying his position and eliminating the threat of future civil strife. This unification helped to lay the groundwork for a period of relative peace and prosperity in England.
