Lancaster York Struggle examines the Wars of the Roses, arguing it was more than just noble infighting but a crisis exposing weaknesses in the English monarchy and succession laws. This tumultuous period reshaped the English political landscape, ultimately paving the way for the Tudor dynasty. One key insight is how the weakness of Henry VI created a power vacuum, leading to decades of unrest. The conflict's impact extended beyond battles, significantly affecting English society and governance. The book explores the contested claims to the throne and the roles of powerful families within the context of Medieval English History. Beginning with the origins of the conflict in the reigns of Richard II and Henry IV, it progresses through major battles like the Battle of Bosworth Field, then concludes by analyzing the Wars' social and economic consequences, plus the rise of Henry VII. By examining the Wars of the Roses through the lens of political dysfunction, this book offers a fresh perspective on this vital era in English history.
