What actions did Henry VII take after his victory in the Wars of the Roses?
Correct Answer: Reduced the power of the nobles
After his victory in the Wars of the Roses, Henry VII (the first Tudor king) reduced the power of the nobles.
He did this to prevent any noble family from becoming powerful enough to challenge the monarchy again — the Wars of the Roses had been fought between rival noble houses (Lancaster and York).
Henry VII established strong, centralised royal authority and brought stability after decades of civil war.
