War of roses. Book 1. Petrel. Iggulden K.

King Henry Fifth of the Lancasters dynasty, the winner of the French under Azenkur, suddenly died, and failed to turn the course of a military campaign on the continent in his favor. The legacy of the great lion of England went to his son, a weak body and spirit of a baby. Not only is it without the support of regents, his powerful relatives, Heinrich the sixth could not rule the kingdom bogged down in the centenary, he was subject to attacks of insanity. And then the moment came when the regent Richard Plantagnit, the Duke of York, decided that without a strong king the country would inevitably fall. And it seems that his fears are destined to come true - the French troops defeat the victory, and rebellions flare up in English counties.
