    5,0 van 5 sterren Exceptional historical journey in Dan Jones' company
    Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 17 september 2014
    Geverifieerde aankoop
    I have taken delivery of 4 new books lately, and somehow this one magically jumped to the top of the pile. How glad I am that it did. Dan Jones has proved once again that with the right blend of considerable scholarship and first class pacy writing, history can be made totally accessible, enjoyable and as good to read as fiction. This is a great skill.

    By taking the start point of his examination of the decline and fall of the Plantagenets and the rise of the Tudors as 1420 when Henry V, victor of Agincourt, married the French princess Catherine Valois, daughter of their mad king Charles VI, the author has placed the ensuing decades of turmoil in their proper context. The 5th Henry was an exemplary medieval king, skilled in managing both peace and war, but his too early death (from illness, rather than on the battlefield) was the catalyst for a century or more of strife. Henry and Catherine's infant son, Henry VI, came to the English throne on his fathers death, and whilst initially problems arose from his long minority, the most serious were saved for his actual reign: disastrously, the mental illness possibly inherited from his French grandfather manifested itself and increasingly paralysed government at a time when royal authority underpinned all. There were power vacuums aplenty, but it is also clear that many of the nobility laboured to maintain the status quo by supporting their feeble monarch.

    The full cast of players is here: Henry V1 and Margaret of Anjou, Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, Richard III and Anne Neville, Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York, Margaret Beaufort and Margaret de la Pole, all intertwined with the numerous powerful families and their affinities whose fortunes ebb and flow in the maelstrom of royal succession and favour.

    The author takes us through those long years of politics, wars, executions, coronations, marriages, heroics and treacheries which eventually brought about the accession by conquest of Henry Tudor, the death of the last Plantagenet king, Richard III, and the formation of a new dynasty, albeit one which had to keep looking over its shoulder for incipient Plantagenet rebellions, taking whatever steps necessary to crush those which took place. These threats did not end with the joining of the white rose and the red rose in the Tudor emblem, but persisted right into the reign of Henry VIII.

    For anyone interested in understanding the sheer scale and impact of what we now call the Wars of the Roses, this is THE book to read: the timelines and key players are set out vividly and with clarity and you will not read a better analysis of the complexities.

    In factual terms, I would only quibble with his assumption that Richard III definitely killed his nephews, the Princes in the Tower, as I think the jury remains out on that one and he was not the only person with something to gain from their demise.

    There are few illustrations, but the ones chosen are absolutely lovely. I enjoyed the whole book at a gallop and will re-read more slowly. Highly recommended.

    5,0 van 5 sterren Another great book by Dan Jones
    Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten op 22 april 2025
    Geverifieerde aankoop
    This has been my 3rd book by author Dan Jones and it is as enjoyable, easily digestible, well-structured, clear and even-handed as the other 2 books (Crusaders & Henry V) I've read by him before.
    I think I can officially declare him a favourite author from now on.

    I have not (yet) read his The Plantagenets, but Jones pretty much takes up where he left off with his Henry V biography and I found it a smooth transition altogether.

    Jones’ treatment of the Wars of the Roses is refreshingly grounded. He strips away the layers of myth and romanticism that often obscure this chaotic period and presents the complex web of York and Lancaster dynastic struggles with clarity and objectivity. No character is lionized or vilified beyond what the historical record supports. Instead, he paints a balanced portrait, showing both the strengths and flaws of the key players—their good intentions, poor decisions, and ruthless ambitions. The shifting allegiances and genealogical tangles are dense, but Jones navigates them with ease and confidence, making the narrative easy to follow without oversimplifying.

    One element I found surprising—and honestly, a bit of a relief—was that Jones doesn’t entertain the revisionist theory that Richard III wasn’t responsible for the murder of the Princes in the Tower. Personally, I’m convinced he either ordered the murders or, at the very least, condoned them. Not because I believe he was more evil than his contemporaries (none of the medieval ruling class could afford to be pure), but because he was a shrewd and ambitious leader. As Jones himself emphasizes, Richard was a capable ruler and warrior—and that kind of power came at a price. Securing the crown he seized meant eliminating threats, however distasteful.

    If you’re firmly in the "Richard didn’t do it" camp, you might find Jones’ take biased—but for me, it felt entirely consistent with the man and the era. So, with that caveat in mind, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a clear-eyed look at the twilight of Plantagenet England and the rise of the Tudors.
