Description
From the celebrated author of The Plantagenets, an exciting, fast-paced history of the Wars of the Roses.
The fifteenth century experienced the longest and bloodiest series of
civil wars in British history. The crown of England changed hands
violently seven times as the great families of England fought to the
death for power, majesty and the right to rule. Dan Jones completes his
epic history of medieval England with a new book about the the Wars of
the Roses - and describes how the Plantagenets, tore themselves apart
and were finally replaced by the Tudors.
With vivid
descriptions of the battle of Towton, where 28,000 men died in a single
morning, to Bosworth, where the last Plantagenet king was hacked down,
this is the real story behind Shakespeare's famous history plays.
