ABOUT:
henry vii (28 january 1457 – 21 april 1509) was king of england from his seizure of the crown on 22 august 1485 until his death in 1509. he was the first monarch of the house of tudor.
henry's mother, margaret beaufort, was a descendant of the lancastrian branch of the house of plantagenet. henry's father, edmund tudor, 1st earl of richmond, a half-brother of henry vi of england and a member of the welsh tudors of penmynydd, died three months before his son henry was born. during henry's early years, his uncle henry vi was fighting against edward iv, a member of the yorkist plantagenet branch. after edward retook the throne in 1471, henry tudor spent 14 years in exile in brittany. he attained the throne when his forces, supported by france, scotland, and wales, defeated edward iv's brother richard iii at the battle of bosworth field, the culmination of the wars of the roses. he was the last king of england to win his throne on the field of battle. he cemented his claim by marrying elizabeth of york, daughter of king edward iv.
henry restored power and stability to the english monarchy following the civil war. he is credited with many administrative, economic and diplomatic initiatives. his supportive policy toward england's wool industry and his standoff with the low countries had long-lasting benefit to the english economy. he paid very close attention to detail, and instead of spending lavishly he concentrated on raising new revenues. he stabilised the government's finances by introducing several new taxes. after his death, a commission found widespread abuses in the tax collection process. henry reigned for nearly 24 years and was peacefully succeeded by his son, henry viii.
scar is the main antagonist of disney's 1994 animated feature film, the lion king. as the brother of mufasa and second-born prince of the pride lands, scar was next in line to assume the throne as king. however, his chances were lost at the birth of his nephew, simba. this embittered scar with jealousy and a sense of entitlement, prompting him to develop a regicidal plot to take over the kingdom, with the aid of his hyena minions.
determined to seize the throne, scar devises a plan to kill both simba and mufasa. after trapping simba in a vast gorge, scar signals his hyena minions to trigger a wildebeest stampede. although mufasa saves simba, the king is weakened, and unable to climb out of the gorge to safety. when mufasa begs scar for help, scar instead murders him by forcing him off the cliff."
years go by as scar squanders the kingdom's resources and allows his army of hyenas to wreak havoc upon the pride lands, which turn barren. an adult simba returns to pride rock and witnesses scar striking his mother sarabi and confronts his uncle, who then demands that simba admit to the pride that he killed mufasa. as he prepares to throw simba off pride rock, scar whispers to simba that he was the one who killed mufasa, confident that the secret will die with him. however, this angers simba, who leaps up and tackles scar to the ground and forces his uncle to admit his action to the pride, initiating a battle between the pride and scar's hyenas. scar tries to escape, but is cornered by simba on the top of pride rock; scar begs for mercy and even attempts to blame his doings on the hyenas, unaware that they are listening nearby. simba spares scar on the condition that scar permanently departs. scar briefly pretends to do so, but then attacks simba and they fight. scar knocks simba on his back, but as he lunges to deliver the killing blow, simba kicks scar over the cliff ledge to the base of pride rock. scar survives but is cornered by the vengeful hyenas, who eat him alive for betraying them, ending his threat to simba and his family for good.
