By Jones, Dan2014., Faber & Faber Limited Call No: 942.04 J76h Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: The fifteenth century experienced the longest and bloodiest series of civil wars in British history.

Dan Jones completes his epic history of medieval England with a new book about the Wars of the Roses - and describes how the Plantagenets tore themselves apart and were finally replaced by the Tudors. With vivid descriptions of the battle of Towton, where 28,000 men died in a single morning, to Bosworth, where the last Plantagenet king was hacked down, this is the real story behind Shakespeare's famous history plays.
