Following the death of his half Uncle King Henry VI, he was the only heir left to the House of Lancaster and as such seen as a threat by the opposing House of York and obliged to flee abroad where he remained until 1485. In that year he raised an army and returned to England where he met the last Yorkist King (Richard III) in battle. Despite being outnumbered, Henry won the Battle of Bosworth Field, King Richard III was killed and Henry assumed the crown as King Henry VII, the first monarch of the House of Tudor. He married Elizabeth of York, a Yorkist Princess in an attempt to unite the warring Houses of York and Lancaster.
