Henry VII of England has been depicted a number of times in popular culture.

Literature

As a youthful Earl of Richmond, Henry is a character in the play Henry VI, Part 3 by William Shakespeare. He is also a character in Shakespeare's play Richard III.

The Founding, Volume 1 of The Morland Dynasty, a series of historical novels by author Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, is set against the background of the Wars of the Roses. Towards the end of the novel a fictional account is given of Henry winning his crown through the Battle of Bosworth, and of the events leading up to this battle.

He is the hero of the historical novel An Unknown Welshman (1972) by Jean Stubbs.

In the celebrated fantasy novel The Dragon Waiting by John M. Ford, Henry is killed at the Battle of Bosworth, thus preventing the House of Tudor from ruling England.

Henry appears in four novels by Philippa Gregory: The Red Queen (2010), which centers on the life of his mother Margaret Beaufort and her ambition to get him on the throne; The White Princess (2013), which centers on his wife, Elizabeth of York; The White Queen (2009), which centers on the life of his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Woodville; and a brief appearance in The Constant Princess (2005).
