The Yorkish King Richard wasn't very popular so people looked for distant relatives with a claim to the throne(Richard had murdered all the best candidates). A relatively unknown Welshman called Henry Tudor had a decent claim. He fought from Lancaster and defeated King Richard (Not the Lion-heart one) to become King Henry VII.
