Description
Sun of York by Ronald Welch is a richly detailed historical novel set during the turbulent Wars of the Roses. It follows Owen Lloyd, a proud but impoverished young nobleman from the Welsh Marches who joins the Yorkist cause in a bid to restore his family’s honour and reclaim their lost estate. His journey from angry youth to seasoned knight is marked by bravery in battle, personal vendettas, and encounters with the powerful men who shaped England’s destiny.
Through Owen’s eyes, Welch vividly portrays the brutality and intrigue of fifteenth-century politics, from the clash of armies to the opulent yet treacherous court of Edward IV. Along the way, readers are given an intriguing glimpse into the early life of the man who would become Richard III. Both thrilling and thought-provoking, this novel captures the spirit of medieval ambition, loyalty, and hard-won wisdom.
A compelling choice for readers who love classic historical fiction filled with adventure, honour, and a touch of royal intrigue.
