Bosworth Field, 22 August 1485 was one of the most fateful encounters in British history. Henry Tudor's victory marked the end of the Wars of the Roses and the founding of a brilliant dynasty that was to lead England to both greatness and stability. The battle signified the ending of the Middle Ages and the beginnings of the modern world. This book tells the story of the vital Welsh contribution to Henry Tudor's victory.
Set against the extraordinary events of the Wars of the Roses in which three kings died violently, this objective, colourful story of Henry's great adventure is full of striking personalities. Owen Tudor, scion of an old Anglesey family who won the heart of a lonely queen, founder of the Tudor fortunes; William Herbert, an obscure Gwent squire who became one of Edward IV's closest advisers; Jasper Tudor, Earl of Pembroke, guardian both of Henry Tudor and of the Lancastrian cause in Wales; Dafydd Llwyd of Mathafarn, the poet and seer with whom Henry Tudor communed on the road to Bosworth.
Above all, The Son of Prophecy tells the story of a calculating, attractive prince who won the throne against exceptional odds - and with such enduring result that his descendants sit on that same throne to this day.
