An account of the British Tudor dynasty from its beginnings
within an upstart Welsh family to its first established sovereign Henry
7th. Focuses mostly on the events leading to the Battle of Bosworth,
where Henry's forces fought those of Richard III to a successful
conclusion. Would have been better if it, although the event certainly
had massive implications long term, focused more on the earlier members
of the family instead of Henry like so many other texts. Also, went a bit
too much almost into Richard, partly because of his body's recent
discovery beneath a parking lot reviving interest in the battle.
