But the underlying causes for the successive upheavals have been hotly contested by historians ever since. In this original and stimulating new synthesis, distinguished historian Michael Hicks examines the difficult economic, military, and financial crises and explains, for the first time, the real reasons why the Wars of the Roses began, why they kept recurring, and why, eventually, they ceased AB - Alongside fresh assessments of key personalities, Hicks sheds new light on the significance of the involvement of the people in politics, the intervention of foreign powers in English affairs, and a fifteenth-century credit crunch. Combining a meticulous dissection of competing dynamics with a clear account of the course of events, this is a definitive and indispensable history of a compelling, complex period."--Pub. desc OP - 332 CN - DA250 .H548 2010 SN - 9780300170092 SN - 0300170092 SN - 1137121661 SN - 9781137121660 SN - 9781299983748 SN - 129998374X SN - 9781135364441 SN - 1135364443 SN - 9780300114232 SN - 0300114230 SN - 0345404335 SN - 1444144480 SN - 0520926676 SN - 0307806855 SN - 1444144499 SN - 1299207138 SN - 1444179241 SN - 1445645246 SN - 1445660350 SN - 1445645327 SN - 0230368522 KW - Great Britain : History : Wars of the Roses, 1455-1485.
