Война Алой и Белой розы

The book is dedicated to one of the most dramatic pages in the history of England - the War of the Scarlet and White Rose, a series of dynastic armed conflicts of 1455-1485, unfolding during the struggle for power between the two branches of the Plantagenet dynasty - Lancaster and York - and culminating in the victory of Henry Tudor from the side branch Lancaster, the founder of the dynasty, which then ruled England for over a hundred years. Considering such a controversial historical period, David Grammitt consistently reveals the points of view of modern historians, using numerous new data, including those obtained by himself in the course of his scientific research. Talking about this confrontation in an accessible form and reviewing the historical sources dedicated to it, the author presents the War of the Scarlet and White Roses in the context of the personal experience of contemporaries of the events and shows the changes in society that it caused. The book, equipped with family trees, a map, a timeline and an extensive bibliography structured by subject, will be useful to students of higher educational institutions and their teachers, as well as to all who are passionate about English history.
