Contents:: The first in a four-part saga chronicling the Wars of the Roses, as seen through the eyes of a Devonshire lord, his family and friends. Dynham (1433-1501) rose from obscurity to become a key figure in the bloody Yorkist-Lancastrian struggle for supremacy. Twice-married but openly gay in his private circle, he survived the harsh reigns of three very different kings: Edward IV, Richard III and Henry VII. His story is one of compelling interest-sex, politics, tragedy and intrigue-and is vividly recounted here in David Bret's inimitable, no-holds-barred style. David Bret is one of Britain's leading celebrity biographers.
