Англия, 1461 год, разгар войны Алой и Белой роз. После сокрушительного поражения в битве при замке Сандал войско Йорков было практически рассеяно. Армия Ланкастеров, победоносно наступая, отбила из плена короля Генриха и подошла к стенам Лондона. Но неприступный город-крепость не открыл свои ворота перед стягами с алой розой. И тогда граф Ричард Уорик, один из предводителей сил Йорков, решил пойти на не виданный доселе в Англии шаг: при живом короле провозгласить другого монарха - герцога Эдуарда Йорка. Вот это настоящий правитель - молодой, могучий, искусный и неистовый воин; за ним пойдут люди, ненавидящие и презирающие слабоумного короля Генриха. Наконец, он из династии Плантагенетов, а значит, на его стороне право крови. Короновать его - наилучшее решение для страны
