The Red Rose and the White Zusammenfassung

The Red Rose and the White: The Wars of the Roses, 1453-1487 John Sadler

If Richard III, the last Plantagenet King of England had not launched his precipitate charge against Henry Tudor from the vantage of Ambion Hill on Bosworth Field, how different might the history of England been?

The Wars of the Roses were a series of mini-wars, fought over 30 years between two branches of the Plantagenet royal family, and eventually won by the Tudors. The Red Rose and the White offers a complete, single volume history of the entire dynastic struggle covering all aspects, the social, economic, religious, political and military.
