Henry VII - Horrible Histories

Of all the kings called Henry, I'm the one you've rarely heard.
Shakespeare  wrote four, five , six , eight  but seven not a word.
People think I'm dreary, to some extent I am.
But look a little closer, glam, bam, thank you mam! 

I didn't agree with King Richard three, 
So I fought him at Bosworth field  and won, victory! 
How cool does it sound, that I'm the king who found, 
Richards crown in a hedge on the winning battle ground.
The only way to end war and avert further disaster, 
There's got to be a way to unite York and Lancaster.

I'm the original ch-ch-ch Tudor, 
Founder of that dynasty.
The man who closes, the Wars of the Roses , 
That's right, that's right, that's me! 

I launched attacks on lords who earned stacks, 
Mine was a noble cause to tap them all for tax.
They paid their share, was only fair, 
To making good rich and be a millionaire.
Elizabeth York became my wife for life, that make me a bore?
Joined our family seats, that's neat, made my rule secure.

I'm the original ch-ch-ch Tudor, 
Returning power to the state.
It seemed quite toothless but actually ruthless, 
I made the monarchy great.

Spent a long time fighting, pretenders to the throne, 
Lambert Simnel , Perkin Warbeck  said my throne was their own.
They claimed they'd been the princes, in the tower  their rule delayed, 
I said 'this crown aint big enough for the three of us' and had one slayed.

I'm the original ch-ch-ch Tudor, 
King of foreign policy.
Doing hostile relations with enemy nations, 
I asked them a-make friends with me.

Yeh, the original ch-ch-ch Tudor, 
They say dullness my main trait.
Well that's a sad endightment, cause if you're looking for excitement, 
My son was Henry the Eighth .
