Overview
The first book to explore the rivalry between the Houses of York and Lancaster from 1245 right up to the Wars of the Roses
The Wars of the Roses didn’t start on the battlefield: Blood Roses traces it back to the beginning.
Starting in 1245 with the founding of the House of Lancaster, Kathryn Warner follows a twisted path of political intrigue, bloody war and fascinating characters over 200 years. From the Barons’ Wars to the overthrowing of Edward II, Eleanor of Castile to Isabella of France, and true love to Loveday, Blood Roses reframes some of the biggest events of the medieval era – not as stand-alone conflicts, but as part of a long-running family feud that would have drastic consequences.
