King Henry VII King Henry VII by unknown Netherlandish artist, 1505 (National Portrait Gallery) - display in the Tower of London

             "This impressive portrait is the earliest painting in the National Portrait Gallery's collection. The inscription records that the portrait was painted on 29th October 1505 by or1der of Herman Rinck, an agent for the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian I. The portrait was probably painted as part of an unsuccessful marriage proposal, as Henry hoped to marry Maximillian's daughter Margaret of Savoy as his second wife,” Text from National Portrait Gallery catalogue. 

The King is seen holding a Tudor Rose, wearing collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece.  National Portrait Gallery, London (NPG 416)

On 21st April 1509 Henry VII died at Richmond Palace and was buried at Westminster Abbey, next to his wife, Elizabeth, in the chapel he commissioned. He was succeeded by his second son, Henry VIII (reign 1509–47). His mother survived him, dying two months later on 29 June 1509.
