About the book

Desmond Seward's The Last White Rose examines the struggle between the Tudors and surviving Yorkist claimants after Henry VII's victory at Bosworth. Pretenders, family loyalties and conspiracies continued to threaten the new dynasty long after the Wars of the Roses were supposed to have ended. Seward follows the insecurity that shaped the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII, showing how disputed legitimacy could turn relatives and rivals into dangerous enemies. This history reveals the anxiety behind Tudor authority and the prolonged effort required to make possession of the throne appear secure.
