Richard and Henry, two royal cousins born in the same year, one blessed by an accident of birth, the other by a surfeit of natural talent, each led by fate and temperament to fight one another for England’s crown.

Supported by a treasure trove of new research, ‘The Eagle and the Hart’ is destined to become a classic and an indispensable guide to the causes of the bloody Wars of the Roses.
