The Wars of the Roses is a documentary history BBC Series about the bitter civil wars that raged in fifteenth century England that had all the ingredients that might make for a modern day blockbuster movie. Intrigue, plotting and treason, brutal murders, unsolved mysteries all went hand-in hand with the savagery of mortal combat. These civil wars became known as the Wars of the Roses due to the red and white emblems that distinguished the two deadly rival factions of the House of Plantagenet - the Yorkists and the Lancastrians. This five-part documentary series paints character portraits of the long line of Edwards, Richards and Henry's who are crucial to the saga. It explains the bitter inter-family rivalries that added fuel to the flames of war and investigates one of British history's great talking points, the mystery of the Princes in the Tower. A dramatic and complex story unfolds of a conflict that eventually leads to the death of King Richard III on Bosworth Field in 1485. As legend has it the bloodstained crown of England was plucked from a hawthorn bush and placed upon the head of Henry Tudor, now King Henry VII and a new strong royal dynasty emerged, The Tudors. The most famous royal dynasty in all of british history.
In this first episode, the origins of the wars are explained. The reign of the weak Henry VI, characterised by corruption of many nobles and advisors, leading to the popular rebellion led by Jack Cade in 1450. The subsequent mental illness of King Henry, and the appointment of Richard of York as Lord Protector in 1454, is also covered.
