This is a good general history of the Wars of the Roses. The genealogy charts are useful as keeping track of the major figures involved is a bit complicated. Ultimately you realize this fight was as petty and insane in its essence as trailer trash siblings fighting over who gets mama's trailer after she dies from lung cancer at forty.
You will quickly be disabused of any romantic notions you may have of the "nobility" of those times.
