Narrator John Curless does a superb job of enlivening this dense and complex story.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 14:23:45 Boxid IA40236123 Camera USB PTP Class Camera Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier Jones persuasively argues that the entire narrative of a war of white versus red roses is, in no small part, semiotically rich Tudor propaganda conceived to aggrandize the regimes of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I by contrasting 15th-century chaos with the subsequent period of relative peace and cultural efflorescence. His subsequent marriage to Elizabeth of York merged the feuding families and launched the Tudor dynasty. Part two, or Rebellion focuses on the uprising of the people of England, at a point when King Henry VI is trying to find his voice amongst his government. At the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, the Lancastrian Henry Tudor defeated Richard III, becoming King Henry VII. As lawlessness and intrigue escalated, the throne fell to Edward IV and then his brother, Richard III, who had his two nephews killed to secure his crown. In time, Henry VI grew to be a feckless leader whose ineptitude encouraged his ambitious kinsmen to plots and treason. The premature and sudden death of Henry V in 1422 left his infant son, Henry VI, on the throne, surrounded by quarreling councilors. In the 15th century, the English crown changed hands five times as rival branches of the Plantagenets-the Lancasters and the Yorks-schemed and fought for the right to rule.
