William Campbell (1824-86) compiled this two-volume work for the
Rolls Series between 1873 and 1877. It covers the first five years
of the reign of Henry VII, following his accession to the throne
after the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. The contemporary material is
rich in information regarding Henry's governance and character,
including his meticulous approach to financial matters and his
penchant for splendour. Volume 1 brings together a variety of
illustrative and carefully transcribed documents, presented in
English, Latin and French. Covering the year 1485-6, it introduces
the people who would come to shape Henry's reign. Revealing Henry's
concern to reward his allies, the documents reflect the turbulence
of the previous decades and the uneasy character of this period.
This is a valuable resource for researchers of the early Tudors,
providing insight into Henry's reign in its early, and most
anxious, stages of development.
