Epox!

Hello and welcome back to Epox.

If you remember last time, we left off just where Henry Tudor, the Earl of Richmond,

to become Henry the 7th, King Henry the 7th, had just won at the Battle of Bosworth Field

against Richard III, who himself is a usurper or a lot of

people thought he was a usurper and a registered a murder of his own nephew the legit

King Edward V. Whether you believe that or not. He lost two years later less he lost the

battle at Bosworth Field and it brings in a new era right the the Tudor era and so we're on a new

timeline and it's really really perhaps the two most pivotal battles in the last thousand years or so

was Hastings and Bosworth because both times it just brings in just a whole new set of people

entirely new set of people are now the royal family, are now the rulers.

You know, if you were on the winning side at Hastings, you and your family got to be among the elite for the next 500 years.

Same goes for Bosworth. Even to this day there are some eminent families

that were on the right side of the battle at Bosworth Field in 1485.

That to this day I still like the eighth duke of something, the twelfth duke of something, right?

So it's really, really, really pivotal and important. And of course, it brings

in the few Tudor kings and queens who are arguably some of the most famous, Henry the 8th, Elizabeth

I, right? Many people say that Elizabeth I, who's a granddaughter of our Henry, we're going to

talk about today, that she resided over a golden age.

Perhaps the greatest golden age England has ever known, arguably, maybe, some say.

And so, this Henry the 7th is, historians, you can't fail, but to look at it,

like it's a page has been turned, it's a new thing. So, as you always, I should be reading from Professor Sir Charles Oman, late 19th century, early 20th century, Professor of History at Oxford University, and from the history of the English-speaking peoples by Sir Winston Churchill, published in the middle of the 20th century.
