Description
“The red dragon shall triumph over the Saxons and the red rose rule in splendour.”
In the prophecies of the Welsh bards, young Henry Tudor is the legendary King who will lead them to deliverance. And bring the treacherous Wars of the Roses to an end.
The sense of his destiny haunts him as his boyhood is spent being helplessly shuttled between his Yorkist and Lancastrian guardians and in friendless exile in Brittany.
When his supporters in England urge him to release them from the tyranny of Richard III, he returns to conquer not only Richard’s troops at Bosworth Field but also the heart of the beautiful Elizabeth of York … and fulfil the prophecy that the white rose and the red would be united under one crown.

An entertaining and engaging historical fiction, well researched and well written.
It was interesting to read about Henry VII and his life.
As I knew very little about this king this book was also informative.
I liked the style of writing that aged well.
A very good book, recommended!
Many thanks to Sapere Book and Netgalley for this ARC

For a historical fiction novel, Stubbs has done justice to this title with thorough research of that time reflected throughout the narrative. It was a refreshing read for me and I can see its appeal for both younger and older audiences. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC.

Thankyou to NetGalley, Sapere Books and the author, Jean Stubbs, for the opportunity to read a digital copy of An Unknown Welshman in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
I am a real fan of historical fiction, especially anything written around the time of The War Of The Rose's and Tudor, England. So I was really excited when I received a copy of this book to read.
I was certainly not disappointed. I really enjoyed reading An Unknown Welshman. I was immersed in the story. This book was very well written and thoroughly engaging. I loved it. Definitely a book exceptional enough to go on a bookshelf. I am waiting on my physical copy of the book. Yay.
Definitely well worth a read for fans of the genre. I can't wait for more.
