1889. The English historian Gairdner's valuable and painstaking
contributions to English history relate chiefly to the reigns of
Richard III, Henry VII and Henry VIII. He begins his biography of
Henry the Seventh: Never was king so thoroughly disciplined by
adversity before he came to the throne as was King Henry VII.
Without a father even from his birth, driven abroad in his
childhood owing to the attainder of his family, more than once
nearly delivered up to his enemies and owing life and liberty to
his own and his friends' astuteness, his ultimate conquest of the
Crown was scarcely so much a triumph of ambition as the achievement
of personal safety. Contents: Early Life; Attainment of the Crown;
Settlement in the Kingdom; Rebellion of Lambert Simnel; The War in
Brittainy; The War with France; Perkin Warbeck and His Friends;
Ireland; Henry's Foreign Policy; Domestic History; Prosperity and
Alliances; and Henry VII and Castile. See other titles by this
author available from Kessinger Publishing.
