∙ 11y agoA few of King Henry vii's achievements was:
* Creating peace between the two roses: Red and White; as these two roses were in battle in the War of the Roses. He was originally a Lancastrian rather than a Yorkshire man and had a possibly weaker claim to the throne but this did not stop him claiming and taking the throne. This meant that he made the country have more stability and less people were go up against him for the throne which meant he was obviously going to stay on the throne longer. This was a nice move and the Henry VII created more peace and stability by marrying the Daughter of Richard: Elizabeth IV as she was a Yorkshire woman this made the two roses have to have peace and that was just one of Henry VII's acheivments.
