Synopsis

This book delves into the complex world of late 15th-century English society, a time of great social, political, and religious upheaval. The author explores the key events surrounding the Yorkist claim to the English throne during the reign of King Henry VII. At the heart of the narrative is the figure of Perkin Warbeck, a pretender to the Yorkist line whose true identity remains a subject of historical debate. The author examines the motivations of this enigmatic character, as well as those of his supporters and opponents. Through the experiences of Perkin Warbeck, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into the nature of royal authority, the role of popular support in shaping political outcomes, and the enduring legacy of the Wars of the Roses.
