Ralph A. Griffiths And Roger S. Thomas, Alan Sutton. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Worn/faded, no tearsPages: Good Markings: No markingsA compelling work of Tudor history, The Making of the Tudor Dynasty chronicles the dramatic rise of one of England's most celebrated royal houses, tracing the precarious path from obscurity to the throne that culminated in Henry VII's victory at Bosworth Field in 1485. Ralph A. Griffiths and Roger S. Thomas present a meticulously researched account of the Welsh and English roots of the Tudor family, illuminating the political turbulence, dynastic rivalries, and personal ambitions that shaped their ascent during the Wars of the Roses. Written with scholarly authority yet remaining accessible to the general reader, the narrative uncovers the key figures, alliances, and turning points that transformed a marginal Lancastrian claim into a ruling dynasty. The authors argue persuasively that the Tudor triumph was far from inevitable, illustrating how fortune, strategy, and timing converged to place Henry Tudor on the English throne and set the stage for a century of transformative rule.
