I’m reading a biography of Henry VII right now. The author agrees that Henry and Elizabeth ended up with a genuinely affectionate relationship - largely because she was a really, really nice person ;-).
He went downhill after she died.

Yes, that aligns with the research I've done... which is not thesis level, just for my own education... when Elizabeth died, Henry went on a downward spiral from which he never recovered.
Apparently he went into a deep and honest mourning every year on the anniversary of her death. Not for "show" but genuinely tortured by the loss.

What’s the title of the biography?
