It is said by historians that Henry VII was a secretive and wary person, but also patient and vigilant, as well as having a love for all sorts games. Juan de Lepe was supposedly Henry VII's favourite opponent, but one day while playing a hand of cards (some sources say it was a game of chess), the English King decided to wager his crown, saying that if his Andalusian rival won the game, he would make him King of England for a day.
