Description
The Brothers York: An English Tragedy by Thomas Penn In 1461, England was plunged into civil war, and a teenage boy seized power in the Welsh marches. Edward IV, the first king of the usurping house of York, would go on to dominate the nation for over three decades. But behind his ascension lay a complex web of sibling rivalry, rebellion, and betrayal. As the years passed, the brothers - Edward, George, and Richard - turned against one another, unleashing a catastrophic chain of events that would ultimately lead to their downfall. The story of the York dynasty is one of tragic excess and fratricide, as a family unable to sustain its influence and power destroyed itself in the space of a generation. This gripping narrative brings to life a pivotal moment in English history, revealing the brutal realities of a conflict that fractured the nation for over three decades.
