I also have a copy to read and I am looking forward to it even more now I’ve read your thoughts on it.

And, really, you wouldn’t have known or cared much who was winning if you lived in a village or a convent, not unless they turned up on your doorstep. It would be your local lord who counted. I liked Josephine Tey’s take on it, when her Inspector Grant thinks it would have been like cheering for a football team. They didn’t generally involve civilians in their fights. I must admit, I still like the non fiction about this period and am currently reading a book about Eleanor Butler and another about the women of the York and Lancaster families. This book you’ve reviewed sounds interesting, I might see if t’s available in ebook.

Recently, I was intrigued to learn from checking out a few family trees online that Princess Diana was descended from Elizabeth Woodville’s boy Thomas Grey, so her children and grandchild are too, but not the rest of the royals, who are descended from Elizabeth by her marriage to Edward.

But I was just thinking the same thing as you did — The War of the Roses is the new Tutors / Henry VIII.
