The Wars of the Roses is one of the most dramatic and fascinating
periods in medieval history. Much has been written about the
leading personalities, bitter dynastic rivalries, political
intrigues, and the rapid change of fortune on the battlefields of
England and Wales. However, there is one aspect that has been often
overlooked, the role of castles in the conflict. Dan Spencer's
original study traces their use from the outbreak of civil war in
the reign of Henry VI in the 1450s to the triumph of Henry VII some
thirty years later. Using a wide range of narrative, architectural,
financial and administrative sources, he sheds new light on the
place of castles within the conflict, demonstrating their
importance as strategic and logistical centres, bases for
marshalling troops, and as fortresses Dan Spencer's book provides a
fascinating contribution to the literature on the Wars of the Roses
and to the study of siege warfare in the Middle Ages.
