Synopsis
This fascinating source book brings the later part of the 15th centuryto life. The Wars of the Roses produced large amounts of political, propaganda, literary and personal documents, all with their own view of Henry, his queen and the Lancastrian cause. The king's lack of understanding and mental collapses were interpreted by some as spiritual rapture while Margaret's determination to protect her son, born in the same year as Henry's breakdown, was seen as unsuitable female behaviour. Letters from the war's participants, including Richard of York and the Pastons, and from ordinary people caught up in the conflict are translated into modern English, along with parliamentary rolls, ballads and contemporary descriptions of landmark battles and events.

Paperback
Seller: WorldofBooks, Goring-By-Sea, WS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The final volume in a trilogy of historical source books covering 1450-1485, this work focuses on the reign of Henry VI, whose manifest shortcomings provided a pretext for the start of the Wars of the Roses in the 1450s. The Wars have been viewed as a dynastic struggle, but more recently such interpretation has been rejected. A vigorous debate has flourished concerning the origins and nature of the Wars and this volume offers a framework for interpretation and a selection of passages from contemporary sources. The aim is for readers to appreciate just why the rule of Henry VI brought about the outbreak of the Wars of the Roses, what the struggles were like and how they culminated in the end of the House of Lancaster. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002207578
