History of the Wars of the Roses 1377-1471: England on Fire

This book is the representative work of the famous British diplomatic historian Robert Balmain Mowert. It tells the whole process of the murder of Richard II, the destruction of the English throne succession system, the century-old fierce battle between the York family and the Lancaster family for the right to inherit the throne, the collapse of the Plantagenet dynasty, and the ascension of Henry VII to the throne to establish the Tudor dynasty. Why did Richard II fail in the coup? Why did the Houses of York and Lancaster gain legal inheritance rights to the throne of England after the death of Richard II? Why is this civil war in England called the "War of the Roses"? Why were the dynasties established by the Yorks and Lancastrians never able to stabilize the political situation? What battle in the War of the Roses determined the fate of both families? Why did Henry Tudor become the biggest beneficiary of the Wars of the Roses? This book will answer it in detail.
