Perkin Warbeck, pretender to the English throne, claimed to be Richard, Duke of York, the younger of the two sons of Edward Iv imprisoned in the Tower of London by Richard Iii. This book looks at who he really was, how he was used by those in power in Burgundy, France, Italy, Scotland and Ireland, and the progress of the conspiracy itself. Warbeck has often been considered as a side issue to Henry Vii's reign, but this book reveals how close the conspirators came to bringing about a fundamental change in European politics. Importantly, Ian Arthurson not only set the plot within the context of what was going on in fifteenth-century Europe, but also reveals important truths about Henry Vii's reign in England. Illustrated with a wealth of contemporary portraits, paintings, engravings and documents, The Perkin Warbeck Conspiracy 1491-99 will appeal to all students of fifteenth-century history.
