The Wars of the Roses and the struggle for the throne between the Houses of York and Lancaster dominate the turbulent history of the latter half of the fifteenth century. Andrew Pickering addresses the issues critical to the study of this period, and analyses the historical debates surounding the characters and events. The text also includes a document study section which offers readers the opportunity to examine a diverse set of written and visual sources. The result is a stimulating foundation text for all Advanced Subsidiary (AS) students, as well as for undergraduates needing an introduction to the period. Lancastrians to Tudors is part of the Cambridge Perspectives in History series. It meets the requirements of the new OCR AS level specifications and is endorsed by OCR.
