Henry V11
He'd been out of the country twelve
years
at Milford Haven greeted with cheers.
Lancastrian Plantagenet makes his claim
forcing a battle to get his domain.
Amazing victory over Richard the Third
enormous power transferred.
The usurpers body slung on a horse,
loud cheering, no verbal discourse.
Henry a very shrewd King
centralising everything.
Bringing power to the throne
no private armies of their own.
Middle classes given more power
the magnates past their finest hour.
To much squabbling at the top
heavy fines this would stop.
His strength from the common classes
sick of feudal nobility clashes.
Centralising the courts of law
right to appeal the crown oversaw.
His reign lasted twenty four years
the countries budget not in arrears.
Finest King the country ever had,
hardly mentioned, makes me sad.
