Bag om Three Books Of Polydore Vergil's English History

Vergil's ""Three Books of Polydore Vergil�������s English History"" is a historical book that covers the reigns of three English monarchs: Henry VI, Edward IV, and Richard III. The book is written by Polydore Vergil, an Italian scholar who lived in England during the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII. The first book covers the reign of Henry VI, who ruled from 1422 to 1461 and again from 1470 to 1471. This period was marked by the Hundred Years' War with France, the Wars of the Roses, and the rise of the House of Lancaster. The second book covers the reign of Edward IV, who ruled from 1461 to 1483. This period saw the end of the Wars of the Roses and the establishment of the House of York. Edward IV's reign was also marked by political intrigue, including the execution of his brother, George, Duke of Clarence, and the alleged murder of his two young nephews, the Princes in the Tower. The third book covers the reign of Richard III, who ruled from 1483 to 1485. Richard III's reign was marked by controversy, including his alleged role in the disappearance of the Princes in the Tower and his defeat at the Battle of Bosworth Field, which marked the end of the Wars of the Roses and the beginning of the Tudor dynasty. Overall, ""Three Books of Polydore Vergil�������s English History"" provides a detailed and comprehensive account of a tumultuous period in English history, including the political and social changes that occurred during these reigns.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
