Reseña del libro "The Sun of York (en Inglés)"
England's political crisis has become a struggle for the crown. After years of failed reconciliation, Margaret of Anjou is determined to preserve the inheritance of Prince Edward, while Richard of York and his Neville allies build the military and political strength needed to challenge the government of Henry VI.In The Sun of York, Gordon J. MacKenzie follows the decisive years in which the House of York moves from opposition to kingship. Warwick's control of Calais provides ships, soldiers and a secure base, while battles at Blore Heath and Ludford Bridge bring both victory and disaster. The Yorkists return from exile, capture Henry VI at Northampton and force England to confront the question that has shadowed the conflict for years: who possesses the better right to rule?Richard of York finally claims the crown, and Parliament recognises him as Henry's heir through the Act of Accord. Within weeks, however, York is killed at Wakefield. His death transforms rather than destroys the cause, passing leadership to his eighteen-year-old son Edward, whose victory at Mortimer's Cross establishes him as a formidable commander and contender for the throne.With Margaret's forces still fighting for Lancaster and London becoming crucial to the struggle, Edward is proclaimed king and marches north to prove his title. On the snow-covered battlefield of Towton, the rival dynasties meet in one of the most brutal encounters of the Wars of the Roses. Victory gives Edward IV possession of the crown, but it does not bring peace, leaving the new Yorkist monarchy with powerful allies to reward and determined enemies still in the field.The Sun of York is Book Four of The Wars of the Roses, a ten-volume narrative history following the dynastic conflict that transformed fifteenth-century England.
