Golden Lads (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781019786666)

This book is a biographical and historical study of the princes of England who died young in the Middle Ages. The authors focus on the lives and deaths of Edward of Westminster, Richard of Shrewsbury, and Edmund of Rutland, who were all heirs to the English throne but were denied the chance to rule. They explore the political, social, and cultural contexts of the period, and show how the premature deaths of these golden lads affected the course of English history. The book is a compelling narrative of tragedy and aspiration in medieval England.
