But what gave the eventual victor of these brutal and complex wars, Henry Tudor, the right to claim the crown? What made his Beaufort mother the great heiress of medieval England, and how exactly did an illegitimate line come to challenge the English monarchy?

Their rise, fall, and rise again is the story of England during the 15th century, a dramatic century of war, intrigue and scandal both at home and abroad.
