Amberley Publishing, 2015. — 304 p. Few English monarchs had to fight harder for the right to rule than King Edward IV – Shakespeare’s glorious son of York.

Chronos Books, 2020. — 114 р. Whether Queen or commoner, the lives of women throughout history is a fascinating study.

Шаги/Steps. — 2023. — Т. 9. — № 2. — с. 148-170. История трансформации представлений о Войнах Роз изучена несколько поверхностно. Известно, что в XVI в. был создан так называемый тюдоровский миф, в рамках которого противостояние Йорков и Ланкастеров рассматривалось как полномасштабная гражданская война. Традиционно считается, что в XVII-XVIII вв. представления о Войнах Роз не...
Charles River Editors, 2015. — 54 p. "Near this spot, on August 22nd 1485, at the age of 32, King Richard III fell fighting gallantly in defence of his realm & his crown against the usurper Henry Tudor.” Today, roses are a sign of love and luxury, but for over 30 years, they provided the symbols for two houses at war for control of England. Thousands of people died and many...

What were the principal factors that influenced and shaped the behaviour of the gentry during the Wars of the Roses, from 1455 at the first battle of St Albans to the final encounter at Stoke in 1487?

Routledge, 2017. — 304 p. The second half of the 15th century was one of the most turbulent periods of English history.

Creative Media Partners, 2017. — 482 p. It's been 600 years since he was born and lived, and we're still talking about him.

McFarland and Company, 2017. — 252 p. The fate of Richard III's two nephews, Edward V and Richard of York, who disappeared after his coronation in 1483, has remained controversial centuries after Thomas More's history and Shakespeare's play laid the blame on their conniving uncle.

How had Howard attained these elevations? Through his service to...
Casemate Publishers, 2021. — 252 p. We don't know how medieval soldiers fought. Did they just walk forward in their armor smashing each other with their maces and poleaxes for hours on end, as depicted on film and in programs such as Game of Thrones? They could not have done so. It is impossible to fight in such a manner for more than several minutes as exhaustion becomes a...

Routledge, 2011. — 314 р. Despite reigning for only a relatively short period of time, Richard III is one of England's most controversial monarchs.

The History Press, 2011. — 192 р. The conventional view of Richard III's defeat at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 is that it was due to a loss of support for him after his usurpation of the throne. However, David Hipshon argues that the result might very well have been in his favour, had not his support for James Harrington in a long-running family feud with Thomas, Lord...
The History Press, 2011. — 288 p. The Wars of the Roses (1455-1485) saw the end of Plantagenet rule in England and Wales, and the accession of the Tudor dynasty to the throne.

Bloomsbury Publishing, 2014. — 224 p. Richard III, the so-called 'last English King of England' and the wicked uncle of tradition, is the most controversial and enigmatic of monarchs.

The History Press, 2011. — 192 p. Elizabeth Woodville is undoubtedly a historical character whose life no novelist would ever have dared invent. She has been portrayed as an enchantress; as an unprincipled advancer of her family's fortunes and a plucky but pitiful queen in Shakespeare's histories. She has been alternatively championed and vilified by her contemporaries and five...
