Ea...I'll say this for Henry VII, he was canny! Early spin-doctoring is right! I saw a program while on holiday in the UK last year about the Tudors as early brand-builders, which had never really occurred to me before that show.

Through Phillipa, daughter to Lionel of Antwerp, and Anne Mortimer, mother of Richard Duke of York. <br />In this sense, the Lancastrians had a stronger claim- they were direct descendants in the male line- but the Yorkists of course killed them off- and did a pretty good job of killing each other off too....
