The Wars of the Roses occur in a series of phases. From a background of dissatisfaction of the reign of Henry VI, the English nobility gathered into factions that exploded into open conflict at the First Battle of St. Albans in 1455. With great bloodshed, the rival armies fought and the wars evolved as the sons of the opposing magnates continued the battles, leading to a battle of two simultaneous Kings of England.This book offers a detailed history of the period, written to ensure that the complicated narrative is easy to follow. It explains how the armies were created, how they travelled and why the battles were fought and won.The battlefields are explained within the modern landscape, allowing the reader to follow in the armies' footsteps and imagine the battles of almost 600 years ago in the towns, countryside and back gardens of today.
