ENRiiiCH - The Son of Prophecy:The Rise of Henry Tudor with Nathen Amin

Nathen will talk about his latest book 'The Son of Prophecy: The Rise of Henry Tudor (2024) followed by a Q&A and book signing opportunity.

As England's most celebrated royal dynasty, it's often overlooked that the Tudors have their origins in rural Wales, far from the urban centres of English power. When Henry Tudor won the crown by defeating Richard III in battle, he was a stranger to the people he now ruled, an 'unknown Welshman' in the words of his defeated foe. In his native Wales, however, Henry had long been championed as the 'Son of Prophecy', a foretold national messiah who would free his oppressed people from their lengthy misery.

Nathen Amin is an author from Carmarthenshire, West Wales, who focuses on the 15th Century and the reign of Henry VII. He is the author of Tudor Wales (2016), The House of Beaufort (2017), and Henry VII and the Tudor Pretenders: Simnel, Warbeck and Warwick (2021). Nathen is a trustee and founding member of the Henry Tudor Trust, and in 2022 was elected a fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
