Wars of the Roses : Politics and the Constitution in England, C. 1, Paperback by Carpenter, Christine, ISBN 0521318742, ISBN-13 9780521318747, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK The Wars of the Roses was a period of major crisis in English politics and in the lives of the English landowning classes. This book attempts to explain why the Wars occurred, and with what results, by placing them in the context of the ruling classes' expectations of kingship and governance at that time. Th draws on a large amount of detailed work written over the past twenty-five years on local and national politics, to present a coherent synthesis of what can seem a baffling and incoherent period.
