Perkin Warbeck, pretender to the English throne, claimed to be
Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York & Norfolk, the younger of
the two sons of Edward IV imprisoned in the Tower of London by
Richard III, and whose true fate is unknown to this day. He led two
attempts to claim the crown, but was captured by Henry VII and
hanged at Tyburn. This book looks at who Warbeck really was, how he
was used by those in power in Burgundy, France, Italy, Scotland and
Ireland, and the progress of the conspiracy itself. It has often
been considered to be a side issue to Henry's reign, but this book
reveals how close the conspirators came to bringing about a
fundamental change in European politics. Importantly, Ian Arthurson
not only sets the plot within the context of what was happening in
fifteenth-century Europe, but also reveals important truths about
Henry's reign in England. Illustrated with a wealth of contemporary
portraits, paintings, engravings and documents, The Perkin Warbeck
Conspiracy will appeal to anyone with an interest in
fifteenth-century history.
