Description
The Wars of the Roses, which saw England and Wales ravaged by warfare for three decades and
dynasties rise and fall, decimated the nobility of an entire generation, and saw the rise of the
merchant class, the decline of medieval feudalism and opened the country to the enlightened
ideals of the Renaissance. Such has been its lasting effects the red and white rose of the Tudors
is still a national symbol.This book is an exploration of the buildings, monuments, towns and
battlefields of that turbulent era across both England and Wales – places that can still be visited
and experienced today. The stories of the great battles of St Albans, Stoke Field, Wakefield,
Townton, Barnet, Tewksbury and, of course, Bosworth, are told along with beautiful photographs
to help guide the reader round these important sites, as well as the dozens of smaller
engagements where the supporters of the Houses of York and Lancaster fought and died.Here are
castles and manor houses galore, all of which played their part in this protracted struggle for the
throne of England, such as Richard of York’s imposing powerbase of Lulow Castle and the
magnificent Tudor stronghold of Bamburg. These are compared with the scant remains of
Fotheringhay Castle, the birthplace of Richard III – the man whose remains were so dramatically
uncovered in Leicester – and Micklegate Bar, York, was where Richard’s head was placed on a
spike.We see the Clocktower of St Albans and ‘Gabriel’ the bell that was rung in 1455 alerting of
the Yorkist advance, as well as the Tower of London where Henry VI met his death and the
possible burial place of the two princes.These, and scores of other places, monuments, plaques,
buildings and battlegrounds, represent not only a journey across England and Wales, but a
journey back in time to the bloody conflict that was the War of the Roses.
