\nBlood Sisters – a review by Mary Hoffman<\/b><\/a> at The History Girls – 1st October 2012 <\/p>\n
\nGames of the thrones by Dan Jones<\/p>\n
‘…Most of the leading players in the Wars of the Roses have traditionally been thought to be the men. Historian Sarah Gristwood, author of Elizabeth & Leicester, and Arbella: England’s Lost Queen, stands this on its head. She examines seven women, whose lives were bound together across the best part of a century, and tries to see the wars from their points of view.<\/p>\n
