Henry VII
by Danny Wilsher
The Henry VII card embodies the essence of a ruler marked by solemnity, mental exhaustion, and a relentless dedication to safeguarding the Tudor dynasty. It represents a king burdened by a constant state of vigilance and the psychological weight of such responsibility. This card deeply resonates with Henry's personal anguish, particularly his profound grief over Elizabeth of York's passing, highlighting the necessity of emotional fortitude in times of sorrow.
Signifying a devoted and faithful marriage, in stark contrast to his infamous heir Henry VIII, this card symbolises the blossoming of true love amidst the backdrop of the Wars of the Roses. If paired with the Elizabeth of York card, it hints at a deep soulmate connection, mirroring their profound bond.
