Henry VII was nothing if not shrewd. To stop any claimant to the throne, he solidified the Lancastrian hold on the throne by marrying his third cousin, both were John of Gaunt's grandchildren. He made himself king "retroactively" the day before the Battle of Bosworth Field, thus making any nobles who had fought against him treasonists.
