I really enjoyed reading this book and it’s always interesting to hear the author discuss their work. Henry was a terrific king and it was so sad how it ended. Spencer is a very good writer too. Love the videos about the Spencer house and estate that he and his wife have shared too.

Spencer's book has been one of the more enjoyable reads I've had in a long time. The rousing, multi-generational narrative is like 'Game of Thrones' without dragons and ice zombies.

I've been fascinated by this story for ages, and I'm surprised that there is no documentary about it.

This is as good as you could want, for me. It is certainly an Ironic twist to History.

Reading Charles Spencer’s book at the moment and really enjoying it..........but there are so many characters, all with different connections to each other and family members. Somehow Spencer just about keeps it all together and maintains focus.

I think an episode about medieval ships in general would be so awesome!

I have read the Plantagenets by Dan Brown. Great book. They would have never came to power without the White ship disaster. The book starts with the White Ship. This book is on my wish list.

Of course I knew about the White Ship sinking. I mean, I did read The Pillars of the Earth now, didn't I? Cheers!

Edward IV and Richard III were House of York and before that was the House of Lancaster but they would each be considered Plantagenets?
@WildwoodClaire13 жыл бұрын
The "House of Lancaster" comprised descendants of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, son of King Edward III. The "House of York" comprised descendants of Edward III's son Edmund of Langley, Duke of York. However, the Yorkist claim to the throne was derived not from Edmund of Langley but descent from another son of Edward III, Lionel of Antwerp, through Lionel's daughter Phillipa of Clarence, whose daughter Anne de Mortimer married Richard of Conisburgh, Earl of Cambridge, son of Edmund of Langley. Richard and Anne were the parents of Richard, Duke of York, who was the father of King Edward IV and King Richard III. SO (if I may humorously quote Shakespeare), it is "as clear as the summer's sun," they are ALL Plantagenets. Postscript: Richard of Conisburgh MAY have been the offspring of an illicit liaison between Richard's mother and John Holland, Duke of Exeter. If so, he would account for one of the false paternities uncovered by analysis of the DNA of King Richard III after King Richard's remains were rediscovered a few years ago.

Shorter answer: Yes. It's why at the time the war between the Lancasters and the Yorks was originally called The Cousins War. "The War of the Roses" came later.
