Wars of the Roses: The Real Game of Thrones (Very Short History Book 4)

The Wars of the Roses pitched two opposing sides within the House of Plantagenet, the houses of York and Lancaster, against each other as they fought for the throne of England. For most of the second half of the fifteenth century, control of the crown of England switched from one side to the other, and monarchs from one side or the other gained the upper hand. This tumultuous period finally came to an end in 1485, when Henry Tudor defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field, heralding a century of relative stability under the House of Tudor.

This very short history provides an overview of one of the most unique periods in British history, and the facts behind an era that continues to fascinate historians up to the present day.
