Description
The Wars of the Roses was a turbulent period of conflict in the 15th century that ultimately ushered in a new dynasty with the Tudors.
In this first episode of our new five-part series, Historic Royal Palaces Curator Charles Farris leads us into the stormy dynastic struggle by laying out the context and origins behind the Wars. Who were the major power players, and what initiated such a period of unrest?
Recorded in the Wakefield Tower at the Tower of London, this episode will situate the Tower at the very heart of the conflict, and set us up for the series ahead.
