Over the course of the fifteenth century, the crown of England changed hands five times as two branches of the Plantagenet line fought to the death for the right to reign. Dan Jones, author of The Plantagenets, tells how the longest-reigning British royal line tore itself apart until it was finally overthrown by the Tudors in this gripping sequel to The Plantagenets.

In these chaotic times, some of history’s greatest heroes and criminals were forced together, from Joan of Arc to Henry V, whose triumph at Agincourt marked the pinnacle of mediaeval monarchy, and Richard III, who murdered his own nephews in a desperate quest to reclaim his stolen throne. This was a time when strong-willed queens and consorts gained power and compelled men to do their bidding. This spectacular narrative history revels in bedlam and intrigue, with vivid descriptions of the battles of Towton and Bosworth, where the last Plantagenet king was slain. It also serves as a long-overdue rebuke to Tudor propaganda, deconstructing their self-serving version of the Wars of the Roses.
