Born: 28 Jun 1491, Greenwich Palace, London, England

Acceded: 24 Jun 1509, Westminster Abbey, London, England

Died: 28 Jan 1547, Whitehall Palace, London, England

Buried: St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, England

Henry VII became the king of England on 21 April 1509. He was a very gruesome king who had 6 wives.

He was a gruesome king and in the medieval times there was a death penalty which was just like if you stole anything or killed anyone you would be hung... Henry's aim was to have a son so when Henry died his son would rule England. The man was quite sexist as he only thought men had the power to rule a country. But now as we all know since there was Elizabeth the 1st and second we seem to have had good rulers.

As he wanted a son he made all his wives give him a son. But all his sons eventually died and at the end only 2 daughters lived which were

Elizabeth I and Mary I. Mary later on in her life became the queen of Scotland (aka BLOODY MARY) and Elizabeth became the queen of England.
