New Medieval Books: Son of Prophecy - Medievalists.net
Briefly

Nathen Amin's biography "Son of Prophecy: The Rise of Henry Tudor" explores Henry Tudor's ancestry, tracing his lineage back eight generations. The book highlights the importance of Tudor's Welsh heritage, arguing that it played a crucial role in his rise to power rather than being a hindrance. It provides context for the struggles of the Welsh people and their hopes for a national leader amidst historical challenges. Aimed at enthusiasts of Tudor and Welsh history, the book offers a comprehensive overview of how the Tudor family became influential in British history.
The Tudor accession in England came not in spite of their Welshness, as we're often led to believe, but in many ways because of this Welsh inheritance.
What I really love about Nathen Amin's book is that it breaks new ground and offers valuable insight into Henry Tudor and his origins before he became king.
