Woah, Witcher 3 music, didn't expect this here. I've spent whole winter listening to the soundtrack. Thumbs up!
BazBattles I love you!!!! ❤❤ Best channel
Nice to see you here. I've been spending my entire summer crying that Ciri left to become empress, so I thought I might as well use the beautiful soundtrack.
Love your channel Baz
Hey, it'z Baz!
I've listened to the soundtrack since the game came out, please send help
A Lancaster always pays his debt
lmao awesome haha
The Yorkshire remembers!
This is so weird watching this because nowadays Lancaster is such a small "city" and it's in such big history!
Btw I'm from Lancaster lol
There is no King but the King in the North who's name is York.
Someone should write a series of novels based on this, only with more dragons and zombies.
android927 I see what you did there
Yugioh duelist of the roses
ICE zombies!
So Game of Thrones?
Jiaqi Wang so r/woosh?
I'm gonna need a flow chart to understand who was pissed off at whom and when.
Monarchist wars of succession are soap operas on crack with alot more bad ass sword fighting.
I had to watch the whole video 7 times just to understand what happend
ha ha ha
The video kinds hugs the Yorkist's nuts, when the reality was a lot more complicated and nobody was right. In fact, most everybody was an asshole. Here's the short version:
English hate the French.
Pro-war-with-France English faction hates Pro-peace English faction.
Nevilles hate the Percys, and likewise.
York (pro-war) hates Somerset (pro-peace).
York's family has also long felt Henry IV stole the monarchy from them and they deserved the throne.
English economy sucks, nobody is happy.
1422:
Henry V dies the most Oregon Trail death possible, dysentery. Henry VI becomes king, problem is, he's not even a year old yet. Henry V was really good at hitting French people with axes, Henry VI as he grew up wasn't really interested in warfare, and the English loved nothing more than a king who liked hitting French people with axes. Other problem was the Hundred Years War with France was unwinnable in the long term for the English, but Henry V had fooled the English into thinking it was possible with his victories.
1448:
Somerset gains power as Henry VI's main advisor, which comes with a corresponding loss of power for York. York hates Somerset.
1453:
French beat the English, Henry VI falls mentally ill and turns catatonic, which York uses as a pretext to steal power from Somerset, succeeds temporarily until Henry VI wakes up.
1455:
York murders Somerset, and his allies the Nevilles murder the Percy and Clifford family heads at St Albans. This starts several years of intermittent warfare, and a few leadership changes as York seizes power, loses it, seizes it again.
1460:
Lancastrians (named after Lancaster, the historical holdings of the royal family, and includes allies such as the Percys and Clifford's son) kill York and his 2nd son at Wakefield battle, stick their heads on spikes.
1461:
Yorkists, now led by York's son Edward get lucky at Towton and a snowstorm fucks up the Lancastrians' day. 28000 people die, Edward becomes king, Henry VI flees to Scotland.
1464-1470: Edward IV marries a lesser English woman instead of a Burgundian princess, now the Nevilles hate Edward and back Henry VI. Edward IV temporarily deposed, but gets crown back due to political pressure, then deposed again, Henry VI made king again... briefly.
1471:
Edward IV wins battles at Barnet and Tewksbury, kills Richard Neville and Henry VI's son, then has Henry VI murdered. Edward IV remains king until he dies of an illness.
1483:
Richard, Edward's youngest brother, claims Edward's marriage was illegitimate, locks up Edward's two sons, and they disappear, likely with a case of the murders. Richard III becomes king.
1485:
Henry Tudor, a distant sorta-cousin to Henry VI comes back, kills Richard III at Bosworth Field battle, becomes Henry VII, starting the Tudor dynasty. Has son who becomes the infamous Henry VIII, and the rest is history.
well done! @@theveteransergeant Your version was much easier to understand and in less time!
i go to Lancaster University and every year for a weekend, we do a sports competition against the University of York for our own War of the Roses. it’s awesome!
War of the roses is used for many things that pit Lancashire vs Yorkshire, lancs vs Yorks in cricket, Leeds United vs Manchester United in football etc etc
"Its all fun and games until 50 000 people die" Love it!
Ma you have 530 likes
Don't forget, for some of them, killing 50,000 WAS the fun.
I love watching series about this war... It's a amazing soap opera
"Given there was no HR to file a complaint to" - that is gold.
Lol!
When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die.

Shut the fuck up
The North of England remembers.
😂😂😂
Remember s what ,royals using people to fight on their behalf
They're both North
The Lancasters send their regards.
Why
The yorkshire remembers
@@jockmanjuicebox4595 King in the Northumbria!!!
@@bridgettewrite ok..... irrelevant
Anyone else trying to keep track of family ties until giving up and just sticking with they're either York or Lancaster lol.
yeah I got confused too trying to figure out good guys and bad guys.
welcome to medieval history
The fact that everybody is called Henry or Edward doesn't help either xD
I did not give up, but had to go back a lot of times. God that was hard to grasp
Mykomatos but they're all related
Good old Richard the third may be a clumsy fellow but to his credit he's damn good at hide and seek, after all, it did take us centuries to finally find this guy.
Innovative little fucker as well, underneath a car park as a hiding place? Genius.
George Bennett Made all the more ingenious by the fact he came up with it *before cars were even invented! BRILLIANT!*
George Zhang nope, Edward IV's sons are the champions. We still have no idea if they lived or died or if the 2 boys who's remains were found are even them as the Queen won't authorize DNA testing for some reason.
Those remains are not of the princes. In the first time, they were founded in a place (under a staircase) and in a depth (as deep as the level were has been found bones of the Neolitic) that deny the possibility. That same place makes impossible a discret and quick burial, so everybody could be seen it. Finally, we don´t know even the sex of the children, but yes a fundamental detail: both present a particular hereditary dental characteristic, missing in any House of York member.
Sincerely, I don´t understand how the Queen forbids the scientific´s work maintaining a so obvious lie.
+Elena Maybe the queen just thinks the mystery improves tourism?
Peasants: We are having some of the worst droughts and weather in living memory famine and disease are rife and people are dying all over the Kingdom of starvation. What can we do to stop this mi Lords ?
Nobles: Let's have a devastating Civil War that should settle it.
lmao, no one's going to die of disease and hunger if they die in the wars first! :P
Which technically solves the problem because as more people die, there is more food for everyone which terminates the famine. 4D chess there.
innit
@@jackblack4110 that's some God level thinking
It amazing that Margret despite being such a hateful and powerful women managed to survive all her competitors, she lost but she survived
She is cersie
@@pratik1568 No actually she was reasonable compared to Cersei. History (as written by male historians) just doesn't like a female in power, and of course it doesn't help that her husband was basically a weak ruler, not only unable to protect his own wife and son, but had to rely on them to protect him instead, which upset the whole patriarchal narrative of The Man being master of his domain.
@@aislingyngaio sounds pretty sexist of you to judge a man for being weak when if a woman was exactly the same way she would be viewed as completely normal.
@@hillarybm92 Because in the gender dynamics of the time, that was a woman's role: to be weak, feminine, merciful. It's not sexist to acknowledge what was basically the accepted narrative of the time when talking in the context of history. To ignore that very basic fact is ignoring the context of historical roles.
@@aislingyngaio No, you said when it came to Margret she was only seen as vicious/bad because The Patriarchy and "male historians" didn't like her yet regarding her husband you said he was weak, not that male historians said he was weak.
Welcome at the first video about the War of Roses which doesn't mention Got. (I'm happy with it.)
Mézes Rétes Now you have done it...
Mézes Rétes GoT is nothing compared with real History
And thank god for that.
I'm glad. Every fucking video on this website links got to the war of the roses, which is correct, but history shouldn't be defined by a tv show.
You know nothing Mèzes Rétes
No wonder GRRM was inspired to create ASOIAF by this. Sucession is a bloody business.
That's why it isn't a good thing to have many descendants of your dynasty, because it can create a bloody mess in the future like this.
@Ishir Mehra I mean look how well it turned out😂 a success indeed
@@Billythetoaster2004
oh yeah, little boys being murdered in their own home by their own father's other wives. Crazy shit.
It truly is.
To many richards and edwards to remember
And henry and george
That Margaret reminds me a lot of Cersei, with her son and everything
Yep. George R.R Martin was based in Margaret's character to create Cersei
And her son was Jofrry.
She reminds me of my mom
Margaery is a lot nicer than Margaret
Pretty sure Tudor is Robert Baratheon, Edward the IV is Robb Stark, and the Lord Protector York is Ned.
If there were less Henrys and Edwards this would be much more interesting
Medieval parents had no imagination. You should see the number of Eleanors, Matildas and Isabelles littered in the line of the Queen Consorts of England.
Edward and Henry is to England what Louis and Charles is to France lol
You mean easier to follow.
@@aislingyngaio More like keeping with traditional names spoke of continuity. Likely considered a good omen. Usually it turned out to be the opposite.
@@aislingyngaio their real names were different, they chose there titular names to be the same as their ancestors.
Margret was more of a king than her own husband who just sat there quietly
Oh my god, this is insane. I kept believing it was about to be finished with either a Lancaster or York victory at many different points.
It essentially ended in a lancastrian victory of sorts with a combining of the houses
eu4 taught me that the war of the roses can be put down if you adopt a baby you found in the woods
+Coke Can ... But the baby has a weak claim...
I Regret Changing My Name throws female heir in bin
Coke Can or just rng to vicory!
and if you have any heir with weak or average claim, you can always choose "Henry Tudor" as your new heir with strong claim.
Just marry the von habsburg lol

I have so much respect for people who take the time to write subtitles. I've done them for a couple videos and they're very time consuming.
I appreciate reading subtitles
Do you get paid?
@@eisleyism no
york and lancester... stark and lannister...
The whole Stark/Lannister conflict is inspired by the Wars of the Roses
More like Baratheon and Lannisters
No...
@@Billythetoaster2004 Richard II was The Mad King and Henry Bolingbroke (Henry IV/Henry Lancaster) was Robert Baratheon. There was a little bit of Henry V in Robert but old Robert was essentially Henry VI. Margaret is Cersei, Edward IV is Robb Stark, Edward Lancaster is Joffrey, Edward V and Richard are Bran and Rickon, Richard Warwick is a mix of Roose Bolton and Rickard Karstark, Richard III is Stannis Baratheon (Stannis is more likable), Daenerys Targaryen is Henry VII, and (F)Aegon is Lambert Simnel.
@@Billythetoaster2004 Oh. Well, Stannis is The One True King and Joffrey, Marcella, and Tommen were illegitimate but Edward IV's children were legitimate and Richard III stole the crown and when Henry Tudor took the throne, his supporters fled to The Holy Roman Empire and found Lambert Simnel to use a figure head for a rebellion. Richard II was delusional narcissist who believed he was god's chosen one and Henry put that fucker in his place like Jaime Lannister did.

Fruit and Barley I felt like replying to your comment because I'm the almost exact same place on the political compass
Apparently no one in history had eyes.
Lololol
Ain't nobody got time for that
Or mouthes lol
@@evanwoods4074 they have lips
There's got to be some symbolism there.
Warwick = Littlefinger
I honestly felt like Warwick was more like Roose Bolton, in that he supported the king until he married a commoner in secret (just like Robb Stark did).
Rambard noooo, Roose Bolton had already betrayed Rob during the battle of the blue fork. It is said in a books that the outcome of the battle didn't matter to Roose. If he won, he would be a hero. If he lost, he could claim the north for himself
Warwick is walder frey smh 🤦♂️
What a convoluted war. Hollywood wouldn't make up a plot like this it's to unbelievable.
Erueti Foster but George RR Martin would
Reality is often stranger than fiction.
@@hemidas , no wonder most criticisms on GOT are stupid
Lancaster : MANCHESTER
York : LEEDS
the war is physically over but the hatred is still going on in forms of football rivalry
Leeds won the crown, a bit more of it, marrying a Mancunian girl. But in football, Leeds can't field a force to face the giant Manc on 2 legs, and with the industry behind it.
@@timomastosalo Other way around, a "Mancunian" married a York girl.
Literature teacher: The novel isn that confusing...
The novel:
"In 1337 the game changed" I see what you did there

@@patrickmacready1779 what?
Damn... medieval Europe had some backstabbing politics.
Welcome to Feudalism and thirst to be head of the state.
Rogue Gen
Post-Fall of Rome, it all eventually culminated in the European “Age of Enlightenment” and the British industrial Revolution so at least there was an upside ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
GoT 1.1
Damn the entire world had some back stabbing politics. I mean just ask Ceaser... Oh you can't he got stabbed in the back..
Yeah
And Hindu fundamentalists in India are using backstabbing in Muslim royalties as an excuse to wipe them out from history.
Sad to see how biased people can be
As if Hindu royals didn't do that
Two Households.
Both alike in Dignity.
In Fair England where we lay our scene.
Where Civil Blood Makes Civil Hands Unclean.
Where an Ancient grudge breaks to new Mutiny.
Ooh, Romeo and Juliet reference.
there is a tv show / book series about the wars of the roses called the white queen. I definitely recommend it. there's also a movie series called the hollow crown, which is essentially the shakespeare version of these events.
thanks
Love that show... just skip "The White Princess". It sucks balls, IMHO.
BBC have cast black to play part as margaret of anjou...just why exactly?
Melisa Williams
That your opinion.
Navi, The Real Fairies Queen Former YANG. Yeah, IMHO means "in my humble opinion"
I can totally see how Gorge RR Martin came up with A Song of Ice and Fire from this
Yeah, Edward the cruel child and his mother Margaret?
Wonder who that inspired....
For anyone fan of The White Queen/The Hollow Crown/Game of Thrones and mangas/animes, an anime adaptation of the manga Requiem of The Rose King is in the process. I cannot wait to see this beautiful anime animated 🥀✨
Gonna have to watch this a few times
This truly is a game of thrones! 😉
Daniel What do you think inspired the plot?
Daniel The Tyrells took more than a little inspiration from this and Lancester and Lannister sure isn't a coincidence in naming ;)
Daniel if GoT really inspired from this, definitely Targaryen will rise to the throne in the end. because Targaryen is the ancient dynasty that once ruled the iron throne like the tudor.
Tedx has a video about rose war and GoT
razhor ryan Technicly only for 300 years. Before that, the kingdoms were seperate.
Tragic that you forgot to mention the fact that George, the Brother of Edward IV, was executed by drowning in a butt filled with Malsey wine, even though Edward forgave him earlier.
We don´t have any proof that George was drown, only rumours. There were some executions by drowning in Scotland and France during the middle ages. So it´s possible. Edward regretted his execution but George was permanent threat, unstable, arrogant, ambitious with to many informations (pre-contract, etc.)
Drowning in butt sounds quite forgiving, to be fair.
I would've definitely liked to see this as a TV show or a movie!
There is a series The white queen then after that you have The white princesses
Keeping up with the lancasters
I love the current abundance of new history channels popping up on youtube, as a history nerd it is a dream come true
I chose to do a school project on the subject, and therefore decided to take notes from your 12 minutes long video, and I have to say, I've gotten a whole new understanding of just how much work you put into your videos. Keep up the good work, i love you're videos! :D
This would be so much easier if there were more than 3 names back then (Edward, John, Henry)
All I learned from this is that, the French is always at war with England.
Margaret of Anjou is french lol
Well, Edward III, Edward The Black Prince, and Richard II are Plantagenets. The first Plantagenet King was Henry II who was the grandson of Henry I and great grandson of William The Conqueror, the vassal duke of Normandy France. The Platagenets were French nobles and when Henry I and his son died, Henry I's daughter married Geoffrey Plantagenet and campaigned against Stephen I who stole the throne. That's why England and France hated each other because Henry II and The English Nobles, who were French, still owned a lot of territory in France, about two thirds, controlling more territory than The French King. Philip Augustus, an ambitious prick who left Richard The Lion Heart in The Middle East to deal with Saladin, gathered his army to try an retake The English controlled French territory. Richard returned to France and launched a campaign to defend his holdings. When Richard died and under the reign of John Lackland, The French retook Normandy, Brittany, and Maine. Under the reign of Henry III, most of Aquitaine was lost and all The English had left was Gascony and I think Calais.
@@gfilmer7150 John Lackland lost a big part of Southern England too, am I right ?
@@Pratyush2124 John lost his territories in Northern France (Normandy, Brittany, and Anjou). His son Henry III lost the lands in Southern France.
@@gfilmer7150 no no, I'm not talking about territories in France. I'm talking about England. He lost a big chunk of Southern England. Is this true ?
@@Pratyush2124 No. The French King might’ve taken that territory during The First Barons War but it was most returned when Henry was crowned King.
i hear that witcher 3 music in the background
I've been playing it so long I hear it everywhere I go
same! easily one of the best soundtracks of all time.
Do an episode on Taiping with the Gaunter O'Dimm song playing
Bananatiger.jpg
apparently so did youtube :(
I love Game of Thrones but I want to know more and more and more about this amazing war in our history without relation it with the show/book. Thanks for this video
War of Rose is actually one of the few historical aspects to inspire the "Song of Ice and Fire" book series which would later become a TV Show called "Game of Thrones"
The War of the Roses pretty much IS what a "Song of Ice and Fire" is just add dragons and ice zombies into the equation lol
So basicly, war of roses are game of thrones, only with no ice zombies (scotish) and no dragons
Lord Orio You do know George RR Martin used War of the Roses as a base for game of thrones :)
Aye but the Scottish are portrayed in GRMM's works, they are the wildlings from beyond the wall (Hadrians).
Yeah well we all pretty much know that by know (if you watch got), that war of the roses was a big inspiration.
its pretty depressing when people decide to associate the middle ages with an adult fantasy tv show on hbo...
It's more depressing when they say "War of the Roses is Game of Thrones" instead of "Game of Thrones is the War of the Roses". It's like saying that GoT was made first before WOTR happened.
Try the German Unification, there was some very good scheming involved.
Bismarck bashing everyone to submission, in the end?
I love how this gives me quick and easy reviews over stuff that I would love to learn but don't have the time to!!! You're doin great Feature History guy! Keep it up!!!
I'm pretty sure Henry VII, a relatively inexperienced swordsman, did not personally kill Richard III
He suffered twelve different wounds that led to his death so maybe Henry got one in. He was also unhorsed and it doesn't require excellent swordsmanship to ride someone down.
Everyone knows Richard III was killed by Prince Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh aka "The Blackadder"
It was Rhys Ap Thomas
@@taptapuyo2714 You are correct, Sir. He was rewarded for killing King Richard the Third with a blow to the head delivered by his halberd.
That´s because Henry was just sitting on his horse and watch the battle.
I would like to write a thesis on this period. Thank you greatly Feature History for your epic take on this English saga.
You could do one on just the changes in armour and weapons.
Isn't this conflict the pretty much inspiration (or among those that the book/series is based upon) behind the Game of Thrones.
This helped me so much with my homeschooling. Also, I love the edits and the comedy and the pictures. Really helpful rather than reading 27 pages.
That was really bloody rather useful, thanks for the time, effort and fun that went in to that!
Can you do a video on Alexander the Great's conquests or the Wars of his Successors?
Dan Carlin is your man.
this is based on the Tudor version of history, The discovery of the remains of Richard the III have raised a lot of questions of this last portion. As records concurrent to Richard the III's reign were actually very favorable to him, and Henry's actual Lancastrian descent is far more removed. The Tudors looking to establish their power base took measures to propagandize Richard the III into the monster and raise Henry the VII as a legit king despite a decent from a page who married the widow of Henry the V.
10:06 " York Power was restored and the War of the Roses had finally ended in a Yorkist Vict- *PSYCHE* " I fucking love this channel
Eighth episode, first one I've watched.
Instantly loved, must hop to the previous seven.
well done sir, my sides are split in twain!
John of Gaunt (Lancaster) is my 21st great grandfather, passed through his daughter Elizabeth Lancaster 😄
and you're ruining his legacy with that dreadful fake tan
Your channel is destined to be huge! So glad to have found you.
I would love it if you did a video on the Bronze Age Collapse - the first systems collapse of a globalised "world", back in 1200 BC. It's interesting, I promise - and you can cover badass bros like Ramses the Great, Suppiluliuma king of the Hittites, the Assyrians, and the Trojan War. Plus it's criminally under-taught.
HoscoFelix
Oh that’d be great really, definitely a turbulent and chaotic time period for the “Old World” centered around the Mediterranean. The after effects were even felt all the way to China, would definitely love it if this great channel would also make 3 other videos about the Assyrian Empire’s rise and fall, the fall of classical civilization(s) and on an unrelated note the Zulu wars.
This is... a surprisingly pretty video
I don't watch a lot of their stuff, but every time i'm a little bit amazed.
The delivery of this apparent historical documentary is diabolical.
It’s actually still quite controversial in England, people still ask you whether you’re a Lancastrian or Yorkist. It has torn families apart.
"It all goes back and back, Tyrion thought, to our mothers and fathers and theirs before them. We are puppets dancing on the strings of those who came before us, and one day our own children will take up our strings and dance on in our steads."
no1 gives a shit wdym
most people dont even this happened
You’ve never met an Englishman have you
Man I'd be awesome to see a video about Burgundy! Its demise, Philippe the Bold, its contribution to the Renaissance.... See my pic? The original country to bear was not spain, it was mighty Burgundy!
I play EU4 too...
However it may be I'm pretty sure the other two were much more used than the Cross
Wow !!! Really love how everything was animated and narrated !! Great work !
HOTD really nails the cinematography! Can't for season 2 its going to be 🔥 with a heavy coat of🩸
got to be my favorite Era In English History
Yes, but where does House Blackadder fit into all of this?
I'm an old Yank. Just got back from Cornwall, Tewkesbury, etc., and now I find myself interested in this. I would have thought it crazy a year ago, but the wife and I fell down the pit of becoming interested in period British TV and quite frankly, it makes my brain get sore just trying to keep track of the names.
Anyway, thanks very much for doing this. I go back and re-watch periodically when my wife is sleeping. This way, she wakes up the next day and thinks I've got a clue. - Thanks again!
Holy shit this is the first video to make this nightmare semi-comprehensible. Thank you.
A Lancaster always pays his debt!
Frahamen Tywin Lannister is actually inspired by the Earl of Warwick; the latter was said to be the richest man in England, a political mastermind and nicknamed 'the kingmaker'.
Awesome video my dude, very informative, much wow
I was listening to the Blood and Wine soundtrack on my phone when I decided to play this video. As you may know, iOS pauses the music and plays the video, so I started watching it. Once I played it I was concentrated on it when I hear Wine Wars (the first song that played in the video) playing in the background. I was freaking out because I thought some update allowed me both to listen to music while watching videos but then I realized that Wine Wars wasn't the song I was listening to before playing the video. I deactivated the music app and replayed the video, the song was still there. Then I read the comments and saw that it was officially music from the best game ever. I'm so thrilled, problem is, I can't concentrate on the video. Anyways, great video!
This one is more chaotic than the fantasy one. Loved that "Psyche"!
If anyone wants a fairly accurate fictional account on this read the Sunne in Splendour. It’s a 900 page beast but it really fleshes Richard III and Edward IV as real interesting characters and getting to see basically the entire saga play out in all its glory/horror in 900 pages is fantastic
So Henry Tudor is Aegon 'the young griff' Targaryen?
pretty much ( I found another book reader yay me )
CarolAnnePoltergeist he’s king in the north! A right proper lad
i think William the conqueror is aegon
@@parthivsen9219 nice catch never thought of that!
henry tudor is jon snow
both were kinda raised in exile
both turned out to be the heirs to the throne
This was so funny and so educational at the same time. Gonna watch this 1000 times more now xD
I say this with pride I freaking love your intro.
9:00 henry the fourth
Shows "henry VI"
Where do the Lannisters fit into the picture? I wanna know what happens to Tyrion!
first video ive watched and already subbing i love the work!
what a great video, LMFAO thank u for the incredible work!
Anyone else thinking the War of the Roses should have it's own TV show?
Aren Teodoro totally agree. they did a Tudors show so why not one about this
Game of Thrones was somewhat based on it
It does, though only Edward IV onwards. The White Queen & The White Princess.
the wars of the roses has two shows about it! one is the white queen and the other is the hollow crown.
Read Conn Igguldens books. Should be based off those.
I feel like it's slightly important to note that George (the king's brother who who wanted the throne for himself) was married to Warwick's DAUGHTER, Isabel. Warwick's other daughter, Anne, ended up married to Prince Edward and then to Richard of Gloucester, who became Richard III. Say what you will about Warwick-- the man knew how to play his cards. He's not called the Kingmaker for nothing, kids.
That was beautiful, thank you so much.
While watching this video I was reminded of Game of Thrones for some reason. Decided to look it up, and the house/family quarrels of GOT mimic the War of the Roses. Thanks for the video!
The Lancasters send their regards.
the first punic war next maybe?
No mention of Salisbury, the Percy's or the Battle of Mortimer's Cross. Edward wasn't a boy when he went to London, he was 6 ft 3 and had just defeated and killed Sir Owen Tudor.
6'4 actually 😉but yeah you're right on the other things
James Spencer Could you tell me what happened to George, Edward IV’s brother? And why Richard III, his smaller brother claimed the throne instead of him?
@@user-py5gc5dn7t George switched to Margaret's side for a bit during the wars because he wanted to become king and as such Edward had him executed on charges of treason (allegedly by drowning him in wine)
George turned traitor and was executed.
That psyche earned you a like...you really kept me on the edge of my seat with who was going to win... great video I learned and it was fun 😄
I wasn't sure at first if this was witches music in the background but I'm thrilled it was. Great video and great music. Thumbs up from me.
So was the black prince really black?
No its cos he died
No he was named after the british WWII tank
he supposedly wore a suit of black armor.
He had black hair. People with black hair were described as black at the time as there were likely no or at most very few Africans in England then.
DAS RITE
3:35
This could easily become some rap verse
thank you for providing these kind of video~😊
This so far the only channel I ever saw that made dr.Phil look like a professional politician.
The history of Richard and the "princes in the Tower" was written under Henry Tudor's patronage, and made most famous by Shakespeare. But history provides no evidence that people were shocked at Richard's usurpation over his illegitimate nephews, no evidence of them being missing or imprisoned in the Tower, no evidence of their murder. Indeed,, it is more likely that Henry consolidated his hold on the throne by murdering the princes, and blaming it on Richard. History is written by the victors.
Read: The Daughter of Time. It's a novel about a 1950's detective investigating the disappearance of the princes, but the history in it is quite solid. And it's also the consensus of historians of the period.
originalhgc if that was true, why marry the sister of the princes of the tower?
If the princes were only killed once Henry VII took power then why did Richard not disprove the reputation the Lancastrians had given him as a child murderer by publicly displaying the two?
cool story, Richard still usurped the throne, disinherited his nephews and triggered the events that would lead to their murders.
Celestine Cassus Richard was killed in battle remember - a battle that, if I remember rightly, is documented as happening three days before it actually did to come before Richard’s coronation and make him the usurper
The daughter of time is a biased novel written by a Richard iii fan girl, not an academic description of the events. If the boys were murdered, Richard is still the strongest candidate for the deed. And regardless, he was still a usurper and actively took part in the defamation of his own brother and the ostracism of his own nephews; murderer or no, he was still a snivelling little shit lol
this is basically GOT like the lancasters are the lannisters and the yorks are the starks and margaret as cersie and etc totally subbing dude love the vids cant wait to see more
SaberNoticsGaming187 GRRM Martin based the names ofo of them. And its more similair to the blackfrye rebellions in GOT (eg centuary long conflict between two branches of the sane family)
Damo2690 The Blackfyres are meant to be the Jacobites.
