Synopsis
Buckingham's Rebellion of 1483 involved a series of uprisings planned across southern England in which rebels sought to murder and destroy Richard III and replace him with Henry Tudor, the future King Henry VII. Through marriage to Elizabeth of York, they would have joined the houses of York and Lancaster and brought the Wars of the Roses to an end.
This is the first full-length study of this crucial event in the reign of Richard III, revealing through a wealth of fascinating details the truth about a revolt that was unprecedented in English political history.
