England 1445-1509: Lancastrians, Yorkists and Henry VII

This title explores the reigns of the English Kings from Henry VI to Henry VII. It allows an in-depth understanding of the key historical knowledge, terms and concepts relevant to 'England 1461-1509' and encourages the critical use of evidence in investigating and assessing historical questions in the associated enquiry: 'Wars of the Roses 1445-1461'.

This title covers the following period study and enquiry:

- Wars of the Roses 1445-1461
- England 1461-1509

In my opinion, this book is the strongest course book for study of this period...Very comprehensive. -- Teacher, Alsop High School
We've used this for several years now and I really like the textbook. The content is clearly structured, e.g. each chapter is from a section of the spec so exam questions draw on content from one chapter only, aiding revision. The activities are very sensible and lead to students creating notes that are clear and focused. -- Mr Tom Lea, Teign School
