Connecting Henry VII of England and Sigmund Freud
Henry VII of England
Henry VII was one of the first European monarchs to recognise the importance of the newly united Spanish kingdom; he concluded the Treaty of Medina del Campo, by which his son Arthur, Prince of Wales, was married to Catherine of Aragon. He also concluded the Treaty of Perpetual Peace with Scotland (the first treaty between England and Scotland for almost two centuries), which betrothed his daughter Margaret Tudor to King James IV of Scotland.
*Arthur (19 September 1486 – 2 April 1502), Prince of Wales, heir apparent from birth to death (named after the legendary King Arthur)
Arthur, Prince of Wales
Arthur has been featured in several historical fiction novels, such as ''The King's Pleasure'', by Norah Lofts, ''Three Sisters, Three Queens'' by Philippa Gregory and ''Katherine, The Virgin Widow'', by Jean Plaidy. In '' The Constant Princess'', by Philippa Gregory, Catherine promises Arthur to marry his brother, thus fulfilling not only her own destiny of becoming Queen of England but also the couple's plans for the future of the kingdom. '' The Alteration'', by Kingsley Amis, is an alternate history novel centred on the "War of the English Succession" during which Henry VIII attempts to usurp the throne of his nephew, Stephen II, Arthur and Catherine's son.
Henry VII of England
According to the contemporary historian Polydore Vergil, simple "greed" underscored the means by which royal control was over-asserted in Henry's final years.
Don Quixote
Harold Bloom says ''Don Quixote'' is the first modern novel, and that the protagonist is at war with Freud's reality principle, which accepts the necessity of dying.
Henry VII of England
During his lifetime the nobility often criticised Henry VII for re-centralizing power in London, and later the 16th-century historian Francis Bacon was ruthlessly critical of the methods by which he enforced tax law, but it is equally true that Henry VII was diligent about keeping detailed records of his personal finances, down to the last halfpenny; these and one account book detailing the expenses of his queen survive in the British National Archives, as do accounts of courtiers and many of the king's own letters.

Henry VII of England
Historians have always compared Henry VII with his continental contemporaries, especially Louis XI of France and Ferdinand II of Aragon.
Ferdinand II of Aragon
Knight of Granada, ''titular'' Prince of the Kingdom of New Granada and Secretary to Francesco Melzi, Niccolò Machiavelli and Pope Adrian VI.
Francesco Melzi
Italian painter
Sigmund Freud attributed the lack of success of Leonardo's pupils, including the talented Francesco, to their inability to distinguish themselves as separate from their master, and thus their careers were unable to flourish after his death.
