Here we have Henry VII, father of Henry VIII. This was a bust made of old Henry during his time on the throne. Henry VII was the first Tudor. He defeated Richard III in 1485, and married Richard’s niece to prove his claim to the throne. Often accused (falsely, I feel) of killing the Princes in the Tower, who were Richard’s nephews. Richard declared them illegitimate after their father’s death and took the throne. He put them in the Tower in 1483, and they were never seen again. I think Richard or the Duke of Buckingham was a more likely suspect as Henry was out of the country at the time and by the time he formalized his campaign to take the throne they were already widely believed to be dead.

But the whole thing is subject to much controversy, so you’re entitled to your opinion.

Henry VII’s nose was inherited by his granddaughter Elizabeth I.

Henry is an ancestor of new Prime Minister David Cameron, as I pointed out on Jezebel a while back.
