A propos de cet article

The New York Times bestselling author of The Last White Rose presents a "masterful [and] revealingly detailed" (The Boston Globe) account of the epic clash for the throne between the royal houses of Lancaster and York--a blistering period in English history that impacted the monarchy forever. "Weir has perfected the art of bringing history to life."--Chicago Tribune Lancaster and York. For much of the fifteenth century, these two families were locked in battle for control of the British monarchy. Kings were murdered and deposed. Armies marched on London. Old noble names were ruined while rising dynasties seized power and lands. The war between the royal Houses of Lancaster and York, the longest and most complex in British history, profoundly altered the course of the monarchy. The first battle erupted in 1455, but the roots of the conflict reached back to the dawn of the fifteenth century, when the corrupt, hedonistic Richard II was sadistically murdered, and Henry IV, the first Lancastrian king, seized England's throne. Both Henry IV and his son, the cold warrior Henry V, ruled England ably, if not always wisely--but Henry VI proved a disaster, both for his dynasty and his kingdom. The factional fighting that plagued his reign escalated into bloody war when Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, laid claim to the throne that was rightfully his--and backed up his claim with armed might. In The Wars of the Roses, Alison Weir brings brilliantly to life both the war itself and the historic figures who fought it on the great stage of England. This is history at its very best--swift and compelling, rich in character, pageantry, and drama, and vivid in its re-creation of an astonishing, dangerous, and often grim period of history.…
