Description
The Last White Rose: The Secret Wars of the Tudors by Desmond Seward The story of the Tudor dynasty's rise to power is often seen as a straightforward tale of victory and succession. However, this narrative overlooks the complex web of intrigue and subterfuge that continued long after the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. In fact, the Wars of the Roses didn't truly end with Richard III's demise and Henry VII's ascension to the throne. The ousted white rose faction persisted, plotting and scheming in secret, their efforts fuelled by a deep-seated desire for restoration. Desmond Seward delves into this fascinating period of English history, revealing the intricate politics and alliances that shaped the Tudor dynasty. Through meticulous research and engaging narrative, Seward brings to life the hidden struggles and power struggles that underpinned the Tudor era, offering a fresh perspective on one of England's most pivotal periods.
