520    The best-selling author of The Plantagenets traces the 
       15th-century civil wars that irrevocably shaped the 
       British crown, particularly evaluating the roles of strong
       women including Margaret of Anjou, Elizabeth Woodville and
       Margaret Beaufort in shifting power between two ruling 
       families. Includes six maps and four genealogies. 
520    The crown of England changed hands five times over the 
       course of the fifteenth century, as two branches of the 
       Plantagenet dynasty fought to the death for the right to 
       rule. In this follow-up to The Plantagenets, historian Dan
       Jones describes how the longest-reigning British royal 
       family tore itself apart until it was finally replaced by 
       the Tudors. Some of the greatest heroes and villains of 
       history were thrown together in these turbulent times, 
       from Joan of Arc to Henry V, whose victory at Agincourt 
       marked the high point of the medieval monarchy, and 
       Richard III, who murdered his own nephews in a desperate 
       bid to secure his stolen crown. This was a period when 
       headstrong queens and consorts seized power and bent men 
       to their will. With descriptions of the battles of Towton 
       and Bosworth, where the last Plantagenet king was slain, 
       this narrative history revels in bedlam and intrigue.
