The House of Beaufort : the bastard line that captured the crown
Amin, Nathen2017
Books
The Wars of the Roses were a tumultuous period in English history, with family fighting family over the greatest prize in the kingdom - England's throne. But what gave the eventual victor of these brutal and complex wars, Henry Tudor, the right to claim the crown? What made his Beaufort mother the great heiress of medieval England, and how exactly did an illegitimate line come to challenge the English monarchy? While the Houses of York and Lancaster fought brutally for the crown, other noble families of the kingdom also played integral roles in the wars, but none symbolised the volatile nature of the period quite like the House of Beaufort. Their rise, fall, and rise again is the story of England during the 15th century, a dramatic century of war, intrigue and scandal both at home and abroad.
