The power struggles, battles, and royal intrigues spanned over 30 years, leading to the decisive Battle of Bosworth and the rise of the Tudor dynasty.

One of the most confusing wars in history. Poor storytelling doesn't help either.

Pope: “You’re so damn ugly Henry the 1st, and your teeth look like a jigsaw beaver’s. You’ll need to become king of all of your island to ever get laid at all.”
Thus the British empire was born, CHEERIO!
Excellent docu-video drama narrative of the English Civil War of the Roses.
The Medieval English Wars of the Roses – House of York vs House of Lancaster, took place within the confines of the story of the Plantagenets, which is where The Game of Thrones fictitious series was derived, created from, minus the dragons, where the twists and plots, betrayers and loyalists, schemes and murders were real life.
The ending though is a climax not even fictitious series creators could have made up, with King Richard III who was villified as the evil murderous hunchback deformed King by William Shakespeare, no doubt pressured by Tudor King Henry VII, whom King Richard III like most all those in his Plantagenet family line before him had both suspicion and sympathetic cause and motive for his actions, in his case taking the crown from his dead brother King Edward IV wife's scheming manipulative Woodville family, blamed for the mysterious disappearance of his 2 young nephews – heirs to the throne in the tower, eventually betrayed, defeated, died on the battlefield was the final player in the act of the wars of the roses.
Exceptional English history documentary with rich storytelling and superb visuals
