Blood Roses

The Houses of Lancaster and York Before the Wars of the Roses

Kathryn Warner

The civil wars between two branches of the Plantagenet dynasty that shaped England in the 15th century had deep roots. This narrative traces the history of the feuding houses back to the creation of the dukedom of Lancaster by Henry III for his son Edmund in 1267, and that of York by Richard II in 1385, down to the latter’s overthrow in 1399. Genealogical tables supplement a list of key players.

Full publisher description
The Wars of the Roses didn't start on the battlefield: Blood Roses traces it back to the beginning.

Starting in 1245 with the founding of the House of Lancaster, Kathryn Warner follows a twisted path of political intrigue, bloody war and fascinating characters over 200 years. From the Barons' Wars to the overthrowing of Edward II, Eleanor of Castile to Isabella of France, and true love to Loveday, Blood Roses reframes some of the biggest events of the medieval era - not as stand-alone conflicts, but as part of a long-running family feud that would have drastic consequences.
