This volume covers the tumultuous period from the Wars of the Roses through the rise of the Tudor dynasty. It chronicles the key events and political maneuvers that shaped England during this era, providing insight into the struggles for power among the royal factions. The opening of the volume focuses on the Wars of the Roses, starting with the discontent that led to Cade's Rebellion in 1450. It details how Jack Cade capitalized on the dissatisfaction with King Henry VI's rule and rallied support by claiming a connection to the noble Mortimer lineage. The narrative describes the escalating tensions between the factions led by the Duke of York and the Lancastrian king, culminating in military confrontations, political intrigue, and the eventual claim to the throne by Edward IV. This foundational episode sets the stage for understanding the fierce rivalries and bloodshed that characterized this pivotal time in English history.
