A fine new copy. A highly illustrated history of the Wars of the Roses based on the medieval art of Graham Turner. The so called “Wars of the Roses” is a popularist name given to the dynastic strife of the houses of York and Lancaster which in terms of conflict commenced between 1455, the first battle of St. Albans and 1487, the battle of Stoke. This period of political unrest was the result of fierce rivalry between cadet descendants of Edward III as they fought for possession of the English crown.

A highly illustrated history of the Wars of the Roses based on the medieval art of Graham Turner.
The period of civil strife in the second half of the 15th century now known as the Wars of the Roses was one of the most dramatic and tumultuous in English history.
Since first being inspired by a visit to Bosworth battlefield nearly 30 years ago, renowned historical artist Graham Turner has built a worldwide reputation for his depictions of this colourful and troubled era, his paintings and prints prized by historians and collectors for their attention to detail and dramatic and atmospheric compositions.
This new study contains a detailed history of the wars alongside a unique and comprehensive collection of over 120 of his paintings and drawings, many created especially for this book. It provides meticulously researched details of arms, armour, settings and countless other aspects of the period, while bringing to life the human stories behind the turbulent events.
