Henry VII faced several pretenders to his throne, most notably Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck. Lambert Simnel claimed to be Edward Plantagenet, the Earl of Warwick, while Perkin Warbeck posed as Richard of York, one of the missing princes in the Tower. Both pretenders garnered support from various factions, including foreign powers, but ultimately failed in their attempts to usurp the crown, solidifying Henry VII's position. Their challenges highlighted the political instability and disputes over succession during that period.
