Interview with Thomas Penn about his book The Brothers York: An English Tragedy. Tells the story of three brothers – Edward IV; George, Duke of Clarence; and Richard III. Argues that the ‘Wars of the Roses’ weren’t determined by a struggle between the houses of York and Lancaster so much as by the catastrophic white-on-white conflict that caused the House of York to implode.
