Sir Hugh Conway was created Lord Treasurer of Ireland in 1494 by King Henry VII of England.
 He replaced Sir James Ormonde as Lord Treasurer of Ireland.
 In 1504 he was appointed Treasurer of Calais by Henry VII ( Cal.
 Pat.
 Rolls Henry VIII, vol.
 ii, 365).
 Hugh Conway was an early supporter of Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond (later Henry VII), was sent by Margaret Beaufort, Henry's mother to Henry, in exile in France, in 1483 with a large sum of money and encouragement to invade England through Wales and seize the crown from Richard III.
 Henry did so in 1485 and Richard was killed at the Battle of Bosworth, where Hugh was present.
 Hugh was appointed Keeper of the Great Wardrobe by King Henry VII on 21 September 1485, was knighted in January 1486 at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth of York, daughter of King Edward IV, and married Elizabeth Courtenay, daughter of Sir Thomas Courtenay, Earl of Devon, in 1490.
 Sir Hugh Conway was appointed Sheriff of Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire by Henry VII in 1500.
 Sir Hugh was a son of John ‘ Aer Conwy Hen ’ of Bodrhyddan Hall and Constable of Rhuddlan Castle, Flintshire, Wales, by his first marriage, and descended from the ancient line of Conway (Conwy = Wales) and de Crevecouer (The Journal Of The Flintshire Historical Society (Appendix D: Conwy Pedigree (British Museum Harleian MS 1971))).
 Sir Hugh's younger half-brother was Edward Conway who married the heiress of Arrow and Alcester, Warwickshire, and was great-grandfather to Edward Conway, 1st Viscount Conway of Ragley Hall, ancestor of the present family of Seymour Conways, Marquis of Hertford.
Sir Roland de Velville (1471/4 - 25 June 1535, also Vielleville, Veleville, or Vieilleville) is alternatively presented as the clear "illegitimate issue" (son) of King Henry VII of England by "a Breton lady whose name is not known", or as a favored member of the court of Henry VII and later recipient of beneficences, brought home to England with 28-year-old Henry after his exile in Brittany, an adolescent "of unknown parentage", and so a possible or likely illegitimate son, with formal historical opinion undecided.
The Henry VII Lady Chapel, now more often known just as the Henry VII Chapel, is a large Lady chapel at the far eastern end of Westminster Abbey, paid for by the will of Henry VII.
 It is separated from the rest of the abbey by brass gates and a flight of stairs.
He fought for Henry VII at the battles of Stoke Field and Blackheath and possibly at other battles as well.
 In 1508, he was appointed to the post of "surveyor of the King's prerogative".
 This office gave him the power to appropriate the lands and property of anyone who had violated the king's prerogative in some way, such as conviction for a felony.
 Belknap's appointment was part of an effort by Henry VII to improve the royal finances.
 Belknap was a privy councillor for both Henry VII and Henry VIII.
 In 1520, he was most probably at the Field of the Cloth of Gold with Henry VIII.
Duke of Bedford (named after Bedford, England) is a title that has been created six times (for five distinct people) in the Peerage of England.
 The first and second creations came in 1414 in favour of Henry IV's third son, John, who later served as regent of France.
 He was made Earl of Kendal at the same time and was made Earl of Richmond later the same year.
 The titles became extinct on his death in 1435.
 The third creation came in 1470 in favour of George Neville, nephew of Warwick the Kingmaker.
 He was deprived of the title by Act of Parliament in 1478.
 The fourth creation came 1478 in favour of George, the third son of Edward IV.
 He died the following year at the age of two.
 The fifth creation came in 1485 in favour of Jasper Tudor, half-brother of Henry VI and uncle of Henry VII.
 He had already been created Earl of Pembroke in 1452.
 However, as he was a Lancastrian, his title was forfeited between 1461 and 1485 during the predominance of the House of York.
 He regained the earldom in 1485 when his nephew Henry VII came to the throne and was elevated to the dukedom the same year.
 He had no legitimate children and the titles became extinct on his death in 1495.
The title Baron Berkeley originated as a feudal title and was subsequently created twice in the Peerage of England by writ.
 It was first granted by writ to Thomas II de Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley (1245–1321), 6th feudal Baron Berkeley, in 1295, but the title of that creation became extinct at the death of his great-great-grandson, the fifth Baron by writ, when no male heirs to the barony by writ remained, although the feudal barony continued.
 The next creation by writ was in 1421, for the last baron's nephew and heir James Berkeley.
 His son and successor William was created Viscount Berkeley in 1481, Earl of Nottingham in 1483, and Marquess of Berkeley in 1488.
 He had no surviving male issue, so the Marquesate and his other non-inherited titles became extinct on his death in 1491, whilst the barony passed "de jure" to his younger brother Maurice.
 However William had disinherited Maurice because he considered him to have brought shame on the noble House of Berkeley by marrying beneath his status to Isabel, daughter of Philip Mead of Wraxhall, an Alderman and Mayor of Bristol.
 Instead he bequeathed the castle, lands and lordships comprising the Barony of Berkeley to King Henry VII and his heirs male, failing which to descend to William's own rightful heirs.
 Thus on the death of King Edward VI in 1553, Henry VII's unmarried grandson, the Berkeley inheritance returned to the family.
 Therefore, Maurice and his descendants from 1492 to 1553 were "de jure" barons only, until the return of the title to the senior heir Henry (and indirectly to his mother Anne), becoming "de facto" 7th Baron in 1553.
 Upon his death he was succeeded by his relative George Harding.
Henry Tudor, who seized the English throne as Henry VII in 1485, and married Elizabeth of York, put an end to the Wars of the Roses.
 Henry VII was a resolute and efficient monarch who centralised political power in the crown.
 He commissioned the celebrated "Henry VII Chapel" at Westminster Abbey, and continued the royal practice of borrowing funds from the City of London for his wars against the French.
 He repaid loans on their due dates, which was something of an innovation.
 Generally, however, he took little interest in enhancing London.
 Nonetheless, the comparative stability of the Tudor kingdom had long-term effects on the city, which grew rapidly during the 16th century.
 The nobility found that power and wealth were now best won by competing for favour at court, rather than by warring amongst themselves in the provinces as they had so often done in the past.
 The Tudor period is considered to have ended in 1603 with the death of Queen Elizabeth.
Henry VII (Welsh: "Harri Tudur" ; 28 January 1457 – 21 April 1509) was King of England from seizing the crown on 22 August 1485 until his death on 21 April 1509, and the first monarch of the House of Tudor.
 He ruled the Principality of Wales until 29 November 1489 and was Lord of Ireland.
Henry Percy, 4th Earl of Northumberland (c. 1449 – 28 April 1489) was an English aristocrat during the Wars of the Roses.
 After losing his title when his father was killed fighting the Yorkists, he later regained his position.
 He led a major portion of Richard III's army at the Battle of Bosworth, but failed to commit his troops.
 He was briefly imprisoned by Henry VII, but later restored to his position.
 A few years later he was murdered by citizens of York during a revolt against Henry VII's taxation.
Edmund Tudor, 1st Earl of Richmond (11 June 1430 – 3 November 1456), also known as Edmund of Hadham (Welsh: "Edmwnd Tudur"), was the father of King Henry VII of England and a member of the Tudor family of Penmynydd, North Wales.
 Born to Owen Tudor and the dowager queen Catherine of Valois, Edmund was half-brother to Henry VI of England.
 After being raised for several years by Katherine de la Pole, Henry took an interest in Edmund's upbringing.
 Once he came to age, Edmund was granted a title and lands by Henry.
 Both Edmund and his brother Jasper, were each made advisers to the King as they were his remaining blood relatives.
