The Founding
The Founding: The Morland Dynasty | Cynthia Harrod-Eagles
2 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
The twenty-three volumes of the Morland Dynasty series has been completely repackaged in the most elegant style, using contemporaneous artwork for each period. This wonderful series opens with the back drop of the Wars of the Roses with the marriage between Eleanor Morland and a scion of the influential house of Beaufort. It is a union which establishes the powerful Morland dynasty and in the succeeding volumes of this rich tapestry of English life, we follow their fortunes through war and peace, political upheaval and social revolution, times of pestilence and periods of plenty, and through the vicissitudes which afflict every family - love and passion, envy and betrayal, birth and death, great fortune and miserable penury. The Morland Dynasty is entertainment of the most addictive kind.

Pickpick

This book (circa 1983) was the one that first introduced me to the Wars of the Roses, and triggered my lifelong interest in the Cousins' War and Tudor history. Still good, though it's a different experience to reread this series with the additional historical knowledge I now have.
