The Yorkist Age: Daily Life During the Wars of the Roses

3243. The Yorkist Age / Daily Life during the Wars of the Roses, by Paul Kendall Murray (read 12 Sept 1999). This is a 1962 book. I read Murray's bios of Richard III in Dec 1963 and of Louis XI in June of 1971. This book was not nearly as absorbing, but it did not turn out to be too bad. His final chapter on the events of the Wars of the Roses has the thesis that they were devastating only for the nobility and that ordinary people were not greatly affected.

Fascinating
