ISBN10: 1841765147, ISBN13: 9781841765143, [publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, Osprey] Softcover Paperback. In this book Christopher Gravett details the climactic events of 1471 and the battle that virtually extinguished the Lancastrian cause. After the crushing Yorkist victory at Towton in 1461, King Edward IV appeared to have triumphed in Englands bloody Wars of the Roses. The Lancastrian King Henry VI was even a prisoner in the Tower of London. By 1470, however, Edwards erstwhile ally the Earl of Warwick The Kingmaker had joined the Lancastrians and a final reckoning was inevitable. Warwick perished at Barnet in April 1471, and on 4 May Edward confronted his enemies, including Edward, Prince and last hope of the House of Lancaster, at Tewkesbury. This work shows that Tewkesbury led to the execution of many of the key Lancastrian leaders, the capture of Queen Margaret and the death of Henry VI in the Tower of London. King Edward IV's decisive Yorkist victory virtually extinguished the Lancastrian cause. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
