Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book examines the tumultuous and conflicted years of the English Lancastrian dynasty and the Wars of the Roses. The author traces the reigns of the Lancastrian kings, focusing on the interplay between the Crown, the nobility, and the growing self-assertion of Parliament. The author also explores how the disastrous loss of France after the Hundred Years' War sowed the seeds of political and social upheaval. The book argues that two developments, in particular, weakened the Lancastrian dynasty: an overly generous 'family settlement' by Edward III, which endowed his sons with vast estates and influence that rivalled the crown, and the rise of powerful noble families who grew too wealthy and ambitious. In time, their power often surpassed that of the king and they created a fragmented political landscape. The author's analysis highlights the interplay between the monarchy's decline and the rise of an over-mighty aristocracy, shedding light on the complex causes of the Wars of the Roses. Ultimately, the book reveals how the breakdown of government under Henry VI allowed the country to slide into civil war, illuminating the fragility of political stability and the importance of a strong and united monarchy in medieval England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
