Description
The Wars of the Roses: The Fall of the Plantagenets and the Rise of the Tudors by Dan Jones The crown of England changed hands five times over the course of the fifteenth century, as two branches of the Plantagenet dynasty fought to the death for the right to rule. This was a period of great turmoil, marked by the rise of powerful queens and the fall of mighty kings. Dan Jones, author of Powers and Thrones, offers a vivid account of the events that shaped this tumultuous time. He describes the battles of Towton and Bosworth, where the last Plantagenet king was slain, and the intrigue and drama that unfolded in the courts of medieval England. This is a story of power, politics, and the human cost of war, told with Dan Jones' characteristic style and flair.
