I believe Henry VII stabilized the throne by getting rid of the individual armies of the nobles. Once there was a state military it must have been easier to control the country and control the throne. Just compare that to Henry VI, Edward IV and Richard III who depended on the nobles’ harried peasants to keep them there. Two ran for their lives once or twice and the last was killed. No fool, Henry Tudor.

I don't know why Isabella and Ferdinand let their daughter into the clutches of the Tudors. She was a good woman who loved Henry VIII and he treated her brutally. Let's just be content that he's roasting in hell.

Henry VII stabilized everything; he left a full treasury, a stable country, a domesticated nobility. He kept the nation intact after fighting fierce battles and as far as I’m concerned, did a great job. Minus murdering the Yorkist descendants. As for Ferdinand and Isabella, they failed to protect their daughter’s interests when Katherine was living in poverty and yes, I do think Henry VIII is roasting in Hell.
