The Wars of the Roses were a bitter and bloody dispute between the
rival Plantagenet Houses of York and Lancaster. Only one man,
Jasper Tudor, the Lancastrian half-brother to Henry VI, fought from
the first battle at St Albans in 1455 to the last at Stoke Field in
1487 and lived to forge a new dynasty - the Tudors. Fighting the
Yorkists, rallying the Lancastrians and spending years in exile
with his nephew, the future first Tudor monarch, Henry VII, Jasper
was the mainspring for continued Lancastrian defiance. He was
twenty-four years old in his first battle and fifty-three when he
won at Bosworth Field in 1485. Now he could style himself 'the high
and mighty prince, Jasper, brother and uncle of kings, duke of
Bedford and earl of Pembroke'. Without the heroic Jasper Tudor
there could have been no Tudor dynasty. This is the first biography
of the real 'kingmaker' of British history.
