I love this period of time and loved reading more about the sisters of Richard III, the king who seemed to be cursed due to the lost Princes in the Tour. I enjoyed the well written and told story of his sisters as they went onto become well known women in history, powerful women especially Maggie who became Queen of Scotland - someone I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of.
A fantastic journey into the past with Sarah's storytelling of a period after The War of the Roses or the Hundred Years War before the Tudors came along.

Exceptionally well written and an inherently fascinating read, "The Castle in the Wars of the Roses" is an impressively informative and seminal contribution to the literature on the Wars of the Roses in general, and to the study of siege warfare in the Middle Ages in particular. Very highly recommended for personal, professional, community, and academic library British Military History collections and supplemental Medieval Warfare curriculum studies lists, it should be noted that "The Castle in the Wars of the Roses" is also readily available in a digital book format.

In addition to an informative Introduction, "Battles of the Wars of the Rose" is further informatively enhanced by historian David Cohen with the inclusion of numerous black/white illustrations, a one page Bibliography, a one page listing of Primary Sources, and a six page Index. Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, "Battles of the Wars of the Rose" is highly recommended for both community and academic library 15th Century English History collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists. It should be noted for the personal reading lists of students, academia, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject that "Battles of the Wars of the Rose" is also available in a digital book format.

A wonderful book for any history lover. The War of the Roses is complicated to follow, but this book is written in a way that engages the reader and makes the players in the war easy to follow and remember. A must for any Tudor history fan.
