$45 · Offered by eBay
In Desmond Seward's gripping "The Wars of the Roses," the brutal 15th-century English civil war between the rival Houses of Lancaster (red rose) and York (white rose) unfolds through the intimate lives of five key figures: loyal Yorkist William, Lord Hastings; fierce Lancastrian John de Vere, Earl of Oxford; resilient Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII; opportunistic bishop John Morton; and scandalous royal mistress Jane Shore. Amid betrayals, beheadings, and battles like Towton and Bosworth, Seward reveals how this dynastic bloodbath decimated the nobility and birthed the Tudor era. A masterful blend of personal drama and political intrigue.
