Wars of the Roses. A Brief History
9.99 €
The book is devoted to one of the most dramatic pages in English history - the War of the Scarlet and White Rose, a series of dynastic armed conflicts of 1455-1485, which unfolded during the struggle for power between the two branches of the Plantagenet dynasty - Lancaster and York - and culminated in the victory of Henry Tudor of the Lancaster side, the founder of the dynasty that then ruled England for over a hundred years. In examining such a controversial historical period, David Grammitt consistently reveals the views of contemporary historians, using a wealth of up-to-date data, including those he himself has obtained through his research. In an accessible account of this confrontation and an overview of the historical sources that deal with it, the author places the War of the Scarlet and White Rose in the context of the personal experiences of contemporaries of the events and shows the changes in society that it caused.
Featuring genealogical trees, a map, a timeline, and an extensive, issue-oriented bibliography, the book will be useful to students and teachers of higher education and to anyone interested in English history.
