Henryâ??s life was full of controversy beginning with his claim to the throne of England. The War of Roses has raged for years and it was probably only due to the weakness of Richard III and the lack of Lancaster descendants remaining that Henry even had a claim to be king. He was only related to the Lancaster's was through one of John of Gauntâ??s bastards. However, Henry successfully became Henry VII on that link. In an effort to keep the dowry of Catherine of Aragon when his eldest son, Arthur died, Henry married her off to her young brother-in-law who would become Henry VIII. This proved that Henry's real Achilles Heel was greed. At the end of his life, widespread greed and corruption deep within the roots of his reign were discovered.

Does someone help the king make big decisions?
That depends on the king. Most kings, historical and modern, have had many advisors. How much they listened to them varied considerably, though most modern kings are essentially figureheads so it's not so much a matter of them having "help" making big decisions as having the big decisions made entirely by an elected government, with the king simply rubber-stamping the decisions of government (if the constitution requires even that).
