Henry VII marries Elizabeth of York, joining Lancaster and York
Five months after winning the crown at Bosworth, Henry Tudor, heir of the House of Lancaster, married Elizabeth of York, eldest daughter of Edward IV, at St Paul’s on 18 January 1486. The marriage joined the two warring houses, and the Tudor rose later combined their red and white roses. They lie together in Westminster Abbey.
