The Brothers York: A Royal Tragedy

The Brothers York is a gripping historical narrative that recounts the epic struggle for the English throne during the War of the Roses.

This book provides a dramatic portrait of 15th-century England, offering keen insight and sharp detail in its prodigiously researched history of the decades-long fight between Lancaster and York.

With masterly skill, Thomas Penn brings to life the three charismatic brothers at the heart of this conflict - King Edward IV, George, and Richard - who became the figureheads of a spectacular ruling dynasty.

But as Edward's ascendancy unleashed a chain of rebellion, vendetta, fratricide, usurpation, and regicide, the brutal end came at Bosworth Field in 1485, with the death of the youngest brother, Richard III, at the hands of a new usurper.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in English history, political intrigue, or the making of a legendary king like Richard III.
