The Wars of the Roses: Politics and the Constitution in England, C.1437-1509 Paperback - 1997

by Christine Carpenter

The Wars of the Roses was a period of major crisis in English politics and in the lives of land-owning classes. Drawing on a large amount of detailed material written over the past 25 years on local and national politics, this book attempts to explain why the Wars occurred and with what results, by placing them in the context of the expectations and beliefs of the ruling classes regarding kingship and governance at the time.


From the publisher

The Wars of the Roses was a period of major crisis in English politics and in the lives of the English landowning classes. This book attempts to explain why the Wars occurred, and with what results, by placing them in the context of the ruling classes' expectations of kingship and governance at that time. The book draws on a large amount of detailed work written over the past twenty-five years on local and national politics, to present a coherent synthesis of what can seem a baffling and incoherent period.
