Book Description

A concise and entertaining study of the vicious wars between the English noble houses of York and Lancaster during the 15th century.

Synopsis

The vicious wars between the English noble houses of York and Lancaster marked the end of medieval England and the birth of the Renaissance. The story of the Wars of the Roses is nothing if not complex. Even its beginning is uncertain. Did the trouble start when Henry Bollingbrook usurped the throne of Richard II, or when Henry V died in 1422 with his conquests incomplete? Or was it really started in 1453 when Henry VI concluded decades of muddled rule with his bout of insanity?
