Lancasters and Yorks. The War of the Red and White Roses

Lancasters and Yorks. The War of the Red and White Roses

The War of the Red and White Roses — a fierce battle for the power of the two influential branches of the Plantagenet dynasty, the Lancasters and the Yorks, stretched out for almost half a century — is one of... the most dramatic pages in the history of England. The famous confrontation that led the Tudor family to the English throne, since the time of Shakespeare's "Historical Chronicles", has been the subject of countless artistic interpretations and is one of the most popular plots in world history in mass culture. The interpretation of the famous historian and master of scientifically grounded historical novels, Alison Weir, proves to be all the more interesting and significant for understanding the real historical processes. The book "Lancasters and Yorks. The War of the Red and White Roses" is part of Weir's cycle of documentary works; however, it, like other popular science works by the author, is distinguished by the virtuoso ability to transform a colossal amount of factual material into a narrative, the plot conflicts of which captivate, mesmerize, and make readers empathize with the characters.
