Henry the Seventh (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by James Gairdner

Overview

This 1889 biography was part of the Twelve English Statesmen series—slender histories designed to give readers an accurate, if far from exhaustive, overview of their subjects.  But Gairdner's monograph on Henry VII contains much more, shining new light on the events of Henry's reign, including the murder of Perkin Warbeck, the pretender.

About the Author

James Gairdner (1828-1912) was an English historian, editor, and writer specializing in the 15th century and the early Tudor period.  He is best remembered for his biographies of Henry VII and Richard III, the latter somewhat controversial due to its sympathetic treatment of the King.
