Description
The origins of the bitter rivalry that would become known as the Wars of the Roses can be traced back to 1245 with the birth of Edmund, the first Earl of Lancaster. This event marks the beginning of a complex web of family relationships and conflicts that would eventually lead to the downfall of the English monarchy. Over the next century and a half, the Lancastrian and Yorkist branches of the royal family engaged in a series of rivalries and power struggles, culminating in the executions of key figures such as Thomas, the second Earl of Lancaster, and his nephew Henry, the first Duke of Lancaster. The seeds of conflict were sown during this period, setting the stage for one of the most famous conflicts in English history. Blood Roses explores 170 years of bloody warfare and political intrigue, shedding light on the complex family dynamics that drove the rival claimants to England's throne.
