The Wars of the Roses
The Wars of the Roses traces the dynastic conflicts that divided the English aristocracy between the houses of Lancaster and York in the fifteenth century. It follows the collapse of Henry VI’s rule, the rise of Edward IV, the ambitions of Richard III and the shifting alliances that repeatedly changed the occupant of the throne. The book concludes with Henry Tudor’s victory at Bosworth and explains how civil war transformed monarchy, noble power and the succession.
