Lancaster and York

by Alison Weir

First published 1995

2.5(5)

This history follows the dynastic conflicts conventionally called the Wars of the Roses, from the failures of Henry VI’s rule to Henry Tudor’s victory at Bosworth. It examines deposition, restoration, shifting noble allegiance and battles including Towton and Tewkesbury through the careers of Margaret of Anjou, Edward IV, Warwick, Richard III and others. The wars emerge as a prolonged crisis of kingship and inheritance rather than a simple contest between two fixed parties.
