Zustand: Gut. XVII, 413 p.: Ill. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - minimal bestoßen und berieben, sonst sehr guter Zustand / minimally scuffed and rubbed, otherwise very good condition. - A BRILLIANT NEW INTERPRETATION OF PERHAPS THE MOST DRAMATIC PERIOD IN BRITISH HISTORY: THE LANCASTER VICTORY AND THE TUDOR DYNASTY The Wars of the Roses, one of the most thrilling periods of British history, didn't end at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. Despite the death of Richard III and Henry Vil's victory, the conflict continued underground into the following century with plots, pretenders, and subterfuge by the ousted White Rose faction. In a brand new interpretation of this turning point in history, acclaimed historian Desmond Seward retells the story of the Tudors' seizure of the throne and reveals that for many years the succession was far from secure. Seward challenges the way we look at the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII. He explains why there were so many Yorkist pretenders and conspiracies, and why the new dynasty had such difficulty establishing itself. This is the story' of King Richard's nephews, the Earl of Warwick and the little known de la Pole brothers, all of whom had the support of dangerous enemies overseas. This is also the story of an England dramatically' dividedwhen the lowly Perkin Warbeck skilfully impersonated one of the princes in the tower in order to claim the right to the throne. Warwick's surviving sister Margaret also became the desperate focus of hopes that the White Rose would be reborn. This colorful and authoritative narrative also offers a new perspective on why Henry VIII, constantly threatened by treachery, real or imaginedand desperate to secure his power with a male heirbecame such a vicious tyrant. / CONTENTS: Genealogical tables: 1.
