3.0

An excellent resource for the chaos surrounding Lancaster vs. York. Each ruler is profiled in turn, with beautiful contemporary color illustrations, maps and illuminations. This book will either impell you to read more histories of the period, or will (as it did for me) help organize what you already know. I've read numerous accounts and biographies from this time period, and this was a good book to marshal it all into one coherent timeline.
