All the characters are here: Henry V and his luckless son, Henry VI, together with his unfortunate uncles, John of Bedford and Humphrey of Gloucester, not to mention the notorious Richard III and his nephews – The Princes in the Tower. Neillands skilfully tackles this complex period providing a clear and entertaining analysis.
