The history of the Wars of the Roses from the common soldiers' perspective.
Historians have researched extensively the motives and fortunes of kings, nobles and gentlemen in the Wars of the Roses that bewildering sequence of rebellions fought between 1455 and 1485. The shadows cast by the awesome puppet masters of the Wars, like Richard of York, Warwick the Kingmaker or Richard III, add to the mist which swirls around the mass of participants, Englishmen, Welshmen and others, including women and children.
They were mostly commoners, the fifteenth-century equivalent of the Poor Bloody Infantry. What sort of people were they? Why did they repeatedly buckle and saddle up for combat? What hopes and fears kept them awake, lying under the stars? How did they behave on the way in alehouses and when they encountered beguiling lasses? In the sixteenth century, history-writing was to depict the Wars luridly as theatres of blood, as reflected in Shakespeare's history plays. Did such views square with family and folk traditions?

Illustrated.Historians have researched extensively the motives and fortunes of Kings, nobles and gentlemen in the Wars of the Roses, that bewildering sequence of rebellions fought between 1455 and 1485. The shadows cast by the awesome puppet masters of the Wars, like Richard of York, Warwick the Kingmaker or Richard 111, add to the mist which swirls around the mass of participants - Englishmen, Welshmen,women, children and even prostitutes. Mostly commoners, these were the fifteenth-century equivelent of the ' Poor Bloody Infantry'. But what sort of people were they? Why did they repeatedly buckle and saddle up for combat? What hopes and fears kept them awake at night? And what experiences did they have along the way that made them relish the excitement of the campaigns? In the sixteenth century, history would depict the Wars luridly as the theatres of blood reflected in Shakespeare's history plays. here, for the first time, Anthony Goodman asks if such views really reflect the reality of the Wars of the Roses, and looks at fresh material from the participants themselves.
