Bosworth
1485, Last Charge of the Plantagenets by Christopher Gravett
On 22 August 1485 a king and a challenger
for the throne faced each other on a battlefield for the first time in the
Wars of the Roses, at stake was the throne itself. The Battle of Bosworth
is therefore one of the most important battles in English history as it
effectively put an end to the dynastic struggle of the Wars of the Roses
and placed the Tudor house on the throne of England. Since his death in
battle against Henry Tudor, argument has raged around the central figure
to the story, the controversial King Richard III. Shakespeare's image of a
twisted and tortured king remains influential despite years of academic
study, whilst the mystery of the Princes in the tower still retains its
potency. Christopher Gravett cuts through this myth and propaganda to
detail the course of this pivotal campaign that decided the fate of a
dynasty.

Towton
1461, England's Bloodiest Battle, by Christopher Gravett
On a bitterly cold Palm Sunday, 29th March
1461, the army of King Edward IV met that of his Lancastrian enemies on a
snow-covered battlefield south of the village of Towton in
Yorkshire. The struggle lasted all day in the longest and bloodiest
battle of the Wars of the Roses. With the arrival of Yorkist
reinforcements under the Duke of Norfolk, the Lancastrian line eventually
broke and their troops fled, many being caught and slaughtered in the
death trap known as 'Bloody Meadow'. This book examines the campaign
that marked the resurgence of the Yorkist cause and established King
Edward IV as king.
