A highly illustrated history of the Wars of the Roses based on the
medieval art of Graham Turner. The period of civil strife in the
second half of the 15th century now known as the Wars of the Roses was
one of the most dramatic and tumultuous in English history. Since
first being inspired by a visit to Bosworth battlefield nearly 30
years ago, renowned historical artist Graham Turner has built a
worldwide reputation for his depictions of this colourful and troubled
era, his paintings and prints prized by historians and collectors for
their attention to detail and dramatic and atmospheric compositions.
This new study contains a detailed history of the wars alongside a
unique and comprehensive collection of over 120 of his paintings and
drawings, many created especially for this book. It provides
meticulously researched details of arms, armour, settings and
countless other aspects of the period, while bringing to life the
human stories behind the turbulent events.
