The Wars of the Roses featured sixteen invasions, four successful;
six times kings lost their thrones. This book explores why those
invasions occurred and kept occurring. Destruction and devastation
were minimal, barely affecting the day to day routine of the
civilian population, yet the Wars were lethal for their noble
leaders and, as first hand accounts reveal, blighted the lives of
their women and children. That the Wars ended so abruptly was not
so much because Henry VII won at Bosworth and ruled effectively,
the author concludes, but rather because a feel-good factor removed
popular discontent and continental rivals turned elsewhere.
