| Summary/Abstract |
The Wars of the Roses and the struggle for the throne between the Houses of York and Lancaster dominate the history of England in the latter half of the fifteenth century. But what were the causes of over forty years of sporadic civil war and how was political stability at last restored? Andrew Pickering addresses the issues critical to the study of this period and analyses the historical debates surrounding the characters and events.
