A hand holds a book. There is green grass in the background. The books has white text on black, "The Wars of the Roses" by David Grummitt. The image is of medieval knights fighting in battle; some on horseback and some on foot. This is an image of the Battle of Barnet in 1471.

This didn't take long. An excellent view of the #WarsoftheRoses era which loses much of the soap-opera of Weir (which I enjoyed a lot) but puts back essential historiography and analysis. Very useful chapters on the era as a whole. Superb - useful for students. #DavidGrummitt #Booksof2026. No. 2
