Following in the Footsteps of Henry Tudor
The story of Henry Tudor’s march to Bosworth and the throne of England began long before the fatal summer of 1485, with his birth in Pembroke Castle. The gigantic fortress where he spent his childhood years lay some 12 miles inland from the spot where Henry was supposed to have landed in Milford Haven when he came to challenge Richard III in August 1485.Henry’s landing and progress to Bosworth Field were a gamble, but by 1485 the last of the Lancastrian princes had little option but to ‘chance his arm.’ He had worn out his welcome on the Continent and, despite his unpopularity in some quarters of English society, there was the real risk that Richard’s reign might finally begin to create stability and financial success – Yorkist stability and success. A gamble, yes, but one that had to be taken if the House of Lancaster was to survive.In Following in the Footsteps of Henry Tudor , we hear of the many fascinating stories from Henry’s march and the places he visited – a journey that took just over two weeks. It was a time of treachery and double dealing but it culminated with the establishment of the Tudor dynasty, the end of the Wars of the Roses and the beginnings of the modern world.

I am a massive fan of the Tudor period and I have devoured many books that cover this era. Living pretty much on the doorstep of the location of the famous battle between King Richard III and Henry Tudor which started the now famous Tudor dynasty I am always intrigued when there is a book released by an unknown author to me.
I thought that the layout of the book was great and I really enjoyed the author’s writing style. He has a really good talent that brought the scenes to life and at times you could almost feel that you were there with Henry and his troops on their march through to the ultimate battle that took place on the outskirts of Market Bosworth.
I thought that the chapter length was perfect too and it was spot on to keep me fully engaged and this would be an ideal introduction too to people who want to learn more about how the Tudor dynasty came to be as it covers the period prior to Henry’s birth and you get an introduction to one of my ultimate favourite historical figures – Margaret Beaufort.
It is 4 stars from me for this one, I really enjoyed the layout and the length of the chapters in the book, this is the perfect introduction to Henry Tudor and the famous (or infamous) Tudor Dynasty! Highly recommended!!

I read the Kindle edition.
This book is a detailed and comprehensive study of the life of Henry Tudor, who was to become King Henry VII. I have read a great deal about Henry VIII and his marriages and children, but not very much on Henry VII. I was anxious to read more about his history. The book is well documented and pulls from references such as Polydore Vergil (Henry's chronicler), a contemporary of Henry Tudor's. Many treatises of Henry's landing in Wales with his troops were written years later and the author gave copious reasons why these references should not be taken at face value.
Henry's seizure of the Crown of England and his marriage to Elizabeth, a Yorkist princess, effectively put an end to the War of the Roses and the very old battle between Yorkist and Lancastrian factions.
The book is well annotated and reads easily. I found the material to be interesting and it added to my store of Tudor knowledge. His descriptions of the Battle of Bosworth, while in parts surmised, was very well done. His attention to detail is fantastic. Mr. Carradice's writing style is more story-like rather than dry pure historical. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more of his work.
I want to thank NetGalley and Pen & Sword/Pen and Sword History for forwarding to me a copy of this very good history for me to read, enjoy and review.

I don’t read many non-fiction books. Truth be told, I usually find them boring. This book, however, managed to tell me all about the history of Henry Tudor in a way that actually kept me reading. It’s non-fiction, but engaging. I know a considerable amount about his descendants, but knew next to nothing about the man himself, so I’m glad I got to read this.
Thank you NetGalley and Pen & Sword History for the chance to review this book.

Thank you to Pen and Sword Books for a copy of this to review.
I've already read Following in the Footsteps of the Princes in the Tower from the same series so I was looking forward to this one, expecting it to be in the same vein, but I was a little disappointed. I didn't find it very engaging and perhaps it isn't fair to compare it to another book in the same series by a different author.
I was expecting a breakdown of each place that Henry travelled through, and although it is a comprehensive exploration of the route Henry Tudor took from his birth to his accession to the throne, the places themselves seem to take a back seat, not what I'd expect from a book called 'Following in the Footsteps' but I know that's my personal opinion and others might disagree.
There were also a few errors - for example, the Duke of Norfolk is in several places referred to as the Earl of Norfolk, and Rhys ap Thomas sometimes referred to as Rhys ap Tudor. I also had a problem with the bibliography. For the amount of information given in the book I expected quite a comprehensive bibliography but it was surprisingly short, and a book doesn't instil me with confidence when it lists Wikipedia and the Daily Mail as sources, to be honest.
It's certainly an interesting book and did offer a lot of insight especially into the journey Henry VII took on landing in Wales in August 1485 to Bosworth Field where Richard III died. That section is particularly detailed but the sources are questionable sometimes I think.

In the study of history, we tend to look at the beginning and the end of a battle and why they were fought. We rarely pay attention to the march that led to the battle, but when we do, there is a distinct reason why. One particular case is of Henry Tudor’s march to the Battle of Bosworth Field. It is a tale that started from his birth at Pembroke Castle to being an exile and then from an exile to being King of England. The story of how an exile became a king and founded the infamous Tudor dynasty deserves attention. Phil Carradice believed that it was time for the story of the first Tudor king and his march to destiny to be told in his latest book, “Following in the Footsteps of Henry Tudor: A Historical Journey From Pembroke to Bosworth”.
I would like to thank Pen and Sword Books for sending me a copy of this book. This is the second book in the “Following in the Footsteps” series that I have read, so I was cautiously optimistic. I wanted to learn more about Henry Tudor’s march to Bosworth and I certainly did in this book.
Carradice begins his book with a novel-like description of Henry, or “Harri”, and his uncle Jasper Tudor landing in Wales. As a reader, I was a bit confused about the direction that Carradice was taking by using this approach since this is a historical non-fiction book instead of historical fiction, but Carradice was able to tie it in nicely. He then explains, rather briefly, the conflict known as the Wars of the Roses and how England got to the point where it was Henry Tudor versus King Richard III for the throne. It is this information that is crucial for readers to understand Henry’s motive for claiming the throne and how it was an arduous task to achieve. It was in these early chapters that we see how Henry went from a regular boy to an exile who became a thorn in the side of the Yorkist Kings Edward IV and Richard III.
The bulk of Carradice’s book deals with what happens after Henry Tudor and his men land in Wales. He deals with issues of exactly where Henry landed and why the traditional place for the landing does not make a whole lot of sense. Carradice also takes on the legends that surrounded the different locations during the march and compared them to the facts that we do know about the march, primarily from Polydore Vergil. The one problem that I had with this book was that Carradice did not include a map of the march. I was not familiar with the locations, particularly the Welsh locations, so it was difficult to visualize the distances. What I did appreciate was the fact that as the battle approached, Carradice showed how both Henry and Richard III must have been feeling and how their decisions on that fateful day made all the difference.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It may be small, but it is rather mighty with all the information that it contains. Carradice’s writing style makes this book feel like a historical fiction novel with a plethora of information one expects from a historical nonfiction book. If you want a great introduction book to Henry Tudor’s march to Bosworth Field and the beginning of the Tudor dynasty, I highly recommend you read, “Following in the Footsteps of Henry Tudor: A Historical Journey From Pembroke to Bosworth” by Phil Carradice.

Following in the footsteps of Henry Tudor: A historical journey between Pembroke and Bosworth by Phil Carradice
We are all aware that Henry Tudor was the founder of the Tudor dynasty. A dynasty that lasted for 122 years. The Tudors are mostly remembered for Henry VIII and Elizabeth I but how much is known about the life of Henry leading up to the famous Battle of Bosworth?
Carradice succeeds in writing this to read as a novel with excerpts of contemporary evidence thrown in. The evidence is presented how it was written including the spelling which I enjoyed reading.
Henry Tudor was a threat to the Plantagenet rule and the last hope of the Lancastrians in the War of the roses. He was exiled for 14 years and the book follows his exile to his return to England for that well known victory. Although we cannot know how Henry or Richard must have felt during this time Carradice does an excellent job of surmising. He also provides arguments for and against certain aspects of Henry's life, for instance where did Henry's fleet land?
The evidence is presented in a easy to read format and I enjoyed the book overall.
I did notice one error in that Carradice refers to the red rose of York and white rose of Lancaster which is the wrong way around but once past that I found this to be an informative book which I'd recommend to any fan of the Tudors.

When I first began reading Following in the Footsteps of Henry Tudor – I had a few issues, namely the reader is told ‘Enshrined in British history as the War of the Roses after the emblems of the two houses – the white rose of Lancaster, the red rose of York’ (Kindle Loc 185) this is an error the white rose belongs to York and the red rose is the emblem of the house of Lancaster.
The author also refers repeatedly to Thomas Stanley as Henry’s Father-in-Law whereas he was Henry’s Step-Father.
At one point I found myself questioning if I were reading a non-fiction history book or a fictional novel – as the tone lends itself much more to the novel genre. However, having completed the book I cannot do less than give this book fives stars! Once I had shrugged off a couple of peeves – I was entirely hooked on both the subject and the way it was related to the reader.
If you’re like me and like to keep your fact and fiction clearly divided I’d advise not to miss out and I would recommend you read this book – facts were delivered in such a relaxed and comfortable way – I read this very quickly and I was immensely sorry when it ended – I’d have loved to have read on or for the author to have delved further into Henry’s day-to-day rule.
Thank you to the publisher - Pen & Sword and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review.

When we think of Tudor times, many of us will think of Henry VIII as the most [in]famous monarch, but the Tudor lineage began with his father Henry VII. In this fascinating book the writer examines primary and secondary sources to draw a portrait of this enigmatic King and his journey to the throne. Henry spent many years in exile as England was embroiled in the Battle of the Roses, and this book charts his childhood and preparation to face the most significant battle of the 15th century against Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. Vastly outnumbered and seen as the underdog, Henry was nevertheless able to defeat Richard's troops and claim the throne of England. Thus began the reign of the Tudors. Seen as miserly and unpopular, Henry VII was responsible for bringing stability to the country' after years of bloodshed' and was seen by many as an 'astute and capable diplomat'. He increased the wealth of the country, encouraged trade and the arts and would appear to have been a more complex individual than some sources have suggested. Plagued by epidemics, pretenders to the throne and the loss of his wife, he became burdened and died at the age of 52. But there is no doubt that his unlikely victory on Bosworth Field paved the way for what was to become the strongest of monarchies in the shape of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.

There are a startling lack of books about Henry VII, so I was pleased to see this one appear on Netgalley. Whilst this is not an intensely long book, it gives the history in a detailed enough way that you feel better informed after reading it and in such a manner that it is not simply a dry, historical account as so many of these books tend to be.
The author does not go deeply into the later politics of Henry VII when he would suffer a lack of support from his people due to taxation and other matters, but it does do a good job explaining Bosworth and the events that led to the downfall of Richard III. This was a fun book to read and I encourage others to check it out.
Seeing as Henry the VII has been far overshadowed by his children and grandchildren, it was nice to see another author put some effort into uncovering the mysteries of this Tudor king. Recommended for anyone interested in Tudor history.
This review is based on a complimentary copy from the publisher, provided through Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

Although I have read many books about the Tudors, the life of Henry VII before he became King is often glossed over so I was glad to be given the opportunity to read Following in the Footsteps of Henry Tudor: A Historical Journey from Pembroke to Bosworth. I found this book to be an interesting and well researched look at Henry's life from his departure from Pembroke to escape the clutches of Edward IV, his life in Brittany, his return to Wales and his journey to Bosworth. The writing was engaging and informative and I enjoyed learning more about the man who began the Tudor dynasty. An excellent read!

La verdad es que la historia de los Tudor me resulta fascinante, por lo que desde un comienzo este libro corría con ventaja. La lectura ademas es bastante fácil y amena, el autor logra que prácticamente veamos todo de verdad por los ojos del protagonista. Disfrute de lo que me transmitía sobre los lugares que recorrió, y ya quiero tener la oportunidad de verlos yo misma y recordar lo que ocurro en ellos a cada paso.

An accurate account of the Wars of the Roses and Henry Tudor's life; from his birth, adolescence and exile to his return and his ascend to the throne after defeating King Richard III on 22 August 1485 (The Battle of Bosworth).
An interesting book for those who would like to know more about the least known of all the Tudor kings and queens, whose reign lasted 24 years and laid the foundations for the most powerful dynasty Britain had ever seen.

This book is well researched and looks at the life of the first, and most overlooked Tudor king.
It is written to be easily accessible with fun anecdotes and interesting facts,
If you want a deep scholarly tome then this isn’t for you, but it Is a lively and enjoyable read trip through Henry’s reign.
I was given a ARC by NetGalley, all opinions are my own.

Nice look at his life and the family he was born into. Nice for those who like English or royal history. You are getting a decent amount of information with some primary quotes/information put throughout.

I was interested in this subject as my son had been doing the War of the Roses and the Battle of Bosworth at school. I’d helped him with it, so had already found some information which I didn’t previously know and wanted to know more. This book looked the ideal place to start, and it follows the story of Henry Tudor. It felt like it wasn’t so much a non fiction, but a fiction or story based on true events from how it was written. There were some parts which didn’t interest me, but for the most, I was kept interested in Henry’s life and particularly his journey of the march to Bosworth and the ensuing battle.
It is very well researched and from the parts I knew, factually correct. It gives a good overview of Henry’s life and his rise to the Throne and is perfect for those who love either fact or fiction stories of the British Monarchy and British history. Rather than be used for those of school age, this is much more suited for those such as myself who know a bit about the subject but would definitely like to find out more!

I enjoyed Carradice's writing style, and I found it easy to follow along with the different acts happening throughout the book, which can often be difficult in many nonfiction historical works. At times I found it hard to put the book down because even though I have already thoroughly studied the time period, Carradice's writing kept me drown into the story. A true sign of a good writer of history for the masses.
While not free from errors, I found that Carradice's work does what many writings about the Tudors don't do: really follow Henry VII's life and rise to power. The book is truly aptly named because Henry really did have to journey from birth to Bosworth in order to attain his crown. I have recommended this to many of my historically inclined friends and colleagues, as well as a few interested students.

An excellent biography of Henry VII, focusing on how he came to be standing with a crown on Bosworth Field and his life in context of the War of the Roses. Great use of primary sources as well as a nuanced look at the other secondary sources.

A well written account of Henry Tudor a must for all Tudor fans
November 6, 2019
This is a great addition to any Tudor enthusiast's bookshelf. In this book we are following in the footsteps of Henry VII, first Tudor sovereign. What I liked the most about this book is that the author covered Henry's years in exile in Brittany - these years are usually skipped over in most of his biographies, or just mentioned in passing, so I was very excited to see a whole chapter dedicated to Henry's exile. I highly recommend this book for people interested in Henry, I feel like I know him much better now.

"Following in the Footsteps of Henry Tudor" wasn't my favourite biography. The author wasn't all that objective and the first chapter was even written as a fictional account, which didn't really fit into the rest of the book.
