HOLLOW CROWN: WARS OF THE ROSES AND THE RISE OF THE TUDORS

The fifteenth century experienced the longest series of civil wars in British history. The crown of England changed hands violently five times as the noble families fought for the right to rule in battles like Towton, Tewkesbury and Bosworth. Yet efforts were made to maintain some semblance of peace and order, as chivalry was reborn, the printing press arrived, and the Renaissance began to flourish. Following Dan Jones's bestselling The Plantagenets, The Hollow Crown is a vivid and engrossing history of these turbulent times.
