Very interesting. Perhaps he's been forgiven for the Little Princes.

I recently watched "The White Queen" on Amazon. I know it's a fictionalized account, but the story was really quite interesting.

Of course, that generated some research on how things really played out. The most interesting thing I uncovered? That Henry's marriage to Elizabeth of York, which was purely political, ended up being something of a love match.

Also, Margaret Beaufort was every bit as driven and dedicated to Henry's cause as was depicted in the series.
