19. Henry 7 the next living heir of the house of Lancaster, having vanquished Richard 3. obtained the Crown, 1married Elizabeth the heir of the house of York, and thereby united those two distracted houses. Yet was not his reign ⟨p. 366⟩without troubles. The Crown being gotten with hazard and much blood, he was maligned by the Duchess of Burgundy, who set up first a Lambert, then a Perkin Warbeck, to disquiet him. Wars he had in France. Insurrections there were in the North, Rebellions in Cornwall, besides many grievances which his Subjects complained of. He died in the 24. year of his reign, and 52. of his age.
