Well so, first of all, ASOIAF is a pastiche of English history. This is how pastiches generally work: you chop and combine things. It's collapsing a century or two of English history into the space of 2 or 3 generations. It's not gonna be a one-to-one comparison.

Two, Robert is as much Edward IV as Henry VIII, and Edward IV's reign was significantly influenced by magnates and great lords with similar stature and status as Tywin. And three, IMO, the reason that Henry's reign was not influenced by magnates and great lords to the same degree isn't primarily because of Henry's strength of character or iron will or anything; it's because Henry Tudor his father had spent his entire reign pursuing policies of centralization and strengthening the crown, and was very successful in pursuing those policies.

+1, Henry VIII's reign was unusually free of negotiations with other important lords because Henry VII (and his extremely tenuous claim to the throne) spent a lot of effort bringing them to heel after the War of the Roses, particularly in financial terms. Robert having to deal with Tywin and the others was much more typical of an English king!

Great point about Edward IV who did like a party/liked to eat and wasn’t known for staying faithful to his wife (also it was claimed he was promised to another but that’s more the opposite of ASOIAF because the one Robert wanted more is the one who got away.) Edward was possibly killed by a chill rather than a boar though so there’s that.

It’s like how Cersei is probably influenced by quite a few medieval or later Queen consorts because she doesn’t go one to one over Elizabeth Woodville or any of Henry VIII’s wives.
