The gentleman narrating this brilliant documentary knows exactly how to keep the listeners interest. Beautifully spoken and articulated it is a pleasure to hear and to enjoy. He holds every point perfectly - a real joy from a superb storyteller
Thanks for this excellent and balanced documentary. Those lads and ladies in the century between Richard II and Henry VII make Game of Thrones look like Little House on the Prairie.
@@ferea_896 Incorrect. GoT was not “based” on wars of roses, but inspired by the politics of that period in history. Also we may find similarity to a few events and personalities. Also GoT was inspired by the Accursed Kings (amazing novels, recommend - if you enjoy history, historic novels - Maurice Druon created very interesting series! 7 books total. If you happen to know French, I’d recommend reading in the original language, if not English and Russian translations are very good! Also Martin noted Ivanhoe as his other GoT inspiration. You may also be interested to read the romance by Scott. I truly saw most parallels in GoT from the French history (The Accursed Kings). War of Roses - feels like more the overall idea of contending clans for the highest power, but not in the details of the story line. Ivanhoe reminds Jorah Mormont’s story.
As an American I find this stuff so fascinating and have watched WAY more hours worth of documentaries on British history than American. I love how everything is so well documented that almost none of it is based on conjecture
Look up Erik bloodaxe who was king of York....loads of battles with the Saxon kings "down south" aswe say in Yorkshire. "In search of Eri k Bloodaxe" is a n old but great dovumentary on TH-cam.
I think Edward's hair color is called Auburn. I have the same hair. It's kind of a tinted dark brown but appears red in certain light and the red becomes more apparent when under more sunlight - so often in winter my hair will be dark brown then in Summer slightly red.
History is often written by the victors. Following that logic, it would make sense that Richard was written about in a dark light. As stated in the video, most monarchs during this time were neither good nor bad, but sort of just did what they could to hold onto their power and survive.
This is an epic. You have done a great job! James Fiennes and William Crowmer are 15 and 14 gt Gfathers of ours. So James` daughter Elizabeth lost both her Father and husband within minutes of eachother which was somewhat unfortunate, but by way of consolation she got to marry Alex Iden who is sometimes credited with running down Cade. So at least she got something out of it...
I have listened to this video at least 100 times, not exaggerating. I'm 2 hours into it this time. I FINALLY understand my family tree link. I have a 10th great grand father, Robert Abell, 1605-1663 who was a descendant of Edward I, through his mother Frances Elizabeth Cotton. But It's taken me til now to fully understand how Edward became king. God this is confusing when you're actually a descendant of someone notable It changes the whole way you see history 3:00:00 Blore-Heath is my umpteenth grandfather. I'm too tired to look it up in my tree and type it out . At the very end of the video, I'm laying on my living room floor on a spine stretcher to ease my scoliosis. 😮
I think Richard, given half the chance, would have made a great king. He had noble plans to make England a peaceful country. He had plans to feed his people fairly. Share wealth evenly to ensure the economy grew. But he wasn’t given the chance to put forth his ideas into action.
Fab find Allan. Waltham Abbey church has a relatively recent 'doom' painting upon a side chapel wall that's rather impressive, if grim. Great vid sir 😉 ✌🏻✌🏼✌🏽 🇬🇧
@@partlycloudy3519what💀 even the current royal family is descended from the plantagenets- not all plantagenets became monarchs, some kept living and reproducing
This history lesson was wonderful. However, the fact that for many many years, Richard III was potrayed as a vilian and in a case of child murder, it becomes so hard to see the other side of him being a good person. You see if the murder or disappearance of the boys was not under his rule, we would be arguing a different perspective about him. I just cannot unsee it. As a mother, we all wonder how Elizabeth Woodville might have gone through.
As often happens, it's difficult for me to "favor" one side over the other, since I'm directly descended from most of the major figures involved. Richard of York is my 16, 17, and 18g- grandfather. Cicely Neville is similar. And the Beauforts. And Edward IV. And Elizabeth of York. And Margaret Beaufort. And Henry VII. It's fairly typical, I suspect.
If only the Yorks could have refrained from always fighting within their own houses in times of peace there may have never been a Tudor on the throne it’s why the Lancastrian’s ruled for so long the Yorks were their own worst enemies
Henry VI didn't start the war of the roses and he seems like the victim but it was his compassion and love for his mother and her 2 other sons that decided the fate of the war of the roses.
Henry VI would, had he been anointed king in modern times, been likened to George VI. He treated his wife better than most men of any time and was treated badly for seeking her council which today would be considered natural. Like Abraham Lincoln he pardoned freely any man sentenced to death as like Lincoln, bloodshed and the duty of signing death warrants was repugnant to him personally. Like Edward The Confessor he was pious and tried hard to live in Christ's example...a hard thing for any monarch to do. He should be called Good King Henry rather than Henry The Mad. If kindness and gentleness be Mad than we xould do with many more Mad rulers. Henry is in every way the opposite of his ancestor John The Bad. So why not call him Henry The Good?
Although taking Place over months and years with, slow Communication, the Marching of Armies in response, and Political, Religious and National competing Identies and affiliation changing by the day and even hours, this is too much for most people to absorbed!!!! Thank you though, for such a 'compressed' historical account!!! Food tasters Job for the Kings a hazardous occupation.......
The government had placed many restrictions on Catherine of Valois remarriage. It is, therefore, possible that Catherine of Valois never legally married Owen Tudor. There were even rumors that Edmund Tudor was fathered by Edmund Somerset, not Owen Tudor.
Regarding Richard III, he wasn’t a Plantagenet through his father. I was a test subject. I’m a 22nd great grandson of Hamelin DeWarenne. Richard’s paternal haplogroup is G-P287 (jewish). King George is R-M269 like mine.
John Duke of Beford was the first husband of Jacquetta Woodville, the mother of Elizabeth Woodville. Edward IV's wife and queen. Henry simply did not have the makings of a king.
I believe the main reason R3 became so ruthless, culminating with the murder of his nephews, ( sorry, but it's an all but certain fact ), was Edward's granting so much power to the Woodvilles/ Grey/Rivers faction. They were extremely ambitious and at Edward's death, Richard found himself vulnerable in the extreme. He saw the crown being usurped by Elizabeth's family. His extreme actions were, in his mind, justified. They weren't of course but so much attention has focused on whether he was ruthless and killed his nephews, few really analyze why he became so despotic. While there's no excuse for his crimes, Edward needs to take some blame for throwing the power base so far out of balance. At his death it left Richard a sitting duck.
My husband and I are eighth cousins via British Royal family.. King Henry, the fourth is our 12th. Great, great plus grandfather, hes the father of Henry the eighth.
Edward the 4th what a great king, his big mistake and Richard the 3rds was that he didn't have Margaret Beaufort executed, if he or Richard had then Henry 7th would not have become king
It's unfortunate that Edward III, had so many wars and sons! He had been a great King! Henry V was just a warrior, not a King or father! Piety!

It was entirely normal for Royalty in those days. Royal children were invariably brought up by noblewomen until they were handed over to a male nobleman to be educated in the case of a male heir and to prepare him for his future role.

English, after 100+ years fighting the French When peace was agreed They returned to England and fought each other . Wiping out the ones with true claims to the throne Ending with the weak tudor king Henry 7th ruling . A weak paranoid king who spent most of his time hiding in his rooms . His son arthur died & Henry 8th became king After hurting his leg he became a tyrannical wife and freind killer. His son was a rabid protestant and destroyed more churches than all the viking raids put together. His sister Mary ( known as bloody Mary, burnt so many protestants she needed to resort from single to mass burnings.. Elizabeth 1st died childless meaning England had James Stewart 1st of England a Scottish king , who's Stewart family caused all sorts of trouble. Ending with his sister Mary and her Dutch husband William becoming king and queen under restrictions of parliament.
So although no evidence exists on the murder of Richard's nephews, no one wonders why on earth he did not search for them or inquired about their disappearance since he had undertaken their care and safety? But good that he had a royal burial while most likely his nephews are still locked in that container.
The princes may have been alive during Richard III's lifetime. My bet is that they were living at Middleham with their cousins. It is also possible that the princes were sent overseas, possibly to Margaret of York, the Duchess of Burgundy.
If they were killed at all, it was likely perpetrated by the Duke of Buckingham for his own regal ambitions. It's more likely that Richard secreted them to his sister in Burgundy. That urn likely contains children from 2,000 years ago, based on the fact that the bones were found 10 feet deep. No grave was dug to that depth, especially under a stone staircase. The grave was more likely already present before William the Conqueror built the White Tower.
The House of Wessex was England's Greatest Dynasty. Lasting for 500 years, they united a nation and laid its legal foundations. The Plantagenets did neither.
I am uncertain what to really think of King Richard III, but I don't think that he killed his nephews, that I put more with King Henry VII when the Titus regulus was revoked so Henry could marry Elizabeth of York. Putting it in that frame then Richard III could like many people then and now could have been very badly misunderstood looking at each medieval king trying to do what he thought was best for England, trying to out do their predecessors.
@@cplmpcocptcl6306 Elizabeth Woodville never arranged the marriage of her daughter to Henry VII it was Margaret Beaufort who put the main pressure to secure her son on the throne after the battle of Bosworth.
ya cannot argue ah benevolence on the part of Richard the 3rd. Edward the 4th was likely poisoned by a very good practitioner. his heir(s) were underage,quickly killed&a military dictatorship was begun,miraculously,by the person whom,up to that time,had most of the military under his control. replace English names with Roman names&everyone would only come to one,clear conclusion.
Looks like these favours of lands and titles were handed out like sweeties in the 1400s. My family tree in that period seems ridiculously overflowing with them. Pity none of them filtered down this way!
What about the people that really sorted stuff out. The engineers and inventors of the time. The people that made it all possible. Why do historians just concentrate of a few people at the top? Is it to maintain the myth of royalty and so we end up with Charles a man totally unworthy of the role of king, a protector of the defrocked sex offender Bishop Ball?
19:00. I think it was restricted because they didn't want Biata manipulating mayas way of thinking of her pain. They wanted to make sure Biata didn't have any influence on Mayas healthcare so dr's could get a true unfiltered view on Maya's pain.
The princes in the tower could just as easily have died of any of the illnesses rampant in their time. Similarly, they could have been killed by someone who thought they were furthering Richard's cause, but without his knowledge or consent. Regardless of how they died, and even if Richard was in no wise to blame, he must have known that he would have been blamed for their deaths in any case. It would have been ironic if they had died of some fever or other "natural cause." Then again, it would make sense in terms of the reign of Henry VI and the power struggles surrounding the infant king, that having another underage king would have prolonged the instabilities and infighting that had been going on since Henry VI's infancy. For an adult Richard to have taken the throne would have brought stability. If he could have neutralized Stanley, he might have been able to pull it off.
But I grant you that one- the overall situation was bad and War of The Roses lasted already for so long that everyone was tired of waring. Someone had to do something. Pity for Edward IV’th sons

His sister Mary ( known as bloody Mary, burnt so many protestants she needed to resort from single to mass burnings..
Elizabeth 1st died childless meaning England had James Stewart 1st of England a Scottish king , who's Stewart family caused all sorts of trouble.
Ending with his sister Mary and her Dutch husband William becoming king and queen under restrictions of parliament.
32:00. HOLY SHITE. Mullins is my dad's mom's maiden name.
So although no evidence exists on the murder of Richard's nephews, no one wonders why on earth he did not search for them or inquired about their disappearance since he had undertaken their care and safety? But good that he had a royal burial while most likely his nephews are still locked in that container.
In the first place it’s never been proven he murdered them. And second what did you want us to do with his remains?
The princes may have been alive during Richard III's lifetime. My bet is that they were living at Middleham with their cousins. It is also possible that the princes were sent overseas, possibly to Margaret of York, the Duchess of Burgundy.
If they were killed at all, it was likely perpetrated by the Duke of Buckingham for his own regal ambitions. It's more likely that Richard secreted them to his sister in Burgundy. That urn likely contains children from 2,000 years ago, based on the fact that the bones were found 10 feet deep. No grave was dug to that depth, especially under a stone staircase. The grave was more likely already present before William the Conqueror built the White Tower.
Because he ordered them to be killed. I mean, it is obvious.
The House of Wessex was England's Greatest Dynasty. Lasting for 500 years, they united a nation and laid its legal foundations. The Plantagenets did neither.
I am uncertain what to really think of King Richard III, but I don't think that he killed his nephews, that I put more with King Henry VII when the Titus regulus was revoked so Henry could marry Elizabeth of York. Putting it in that frame then Richard III could like many people then and now could have been very badly misunderstood looking at each medieval king trying to do what he thought was best for England, trying to out do their predecessors.
Except for the fact they weren’t seen for 2yrs.
Also, Elizabeth never would have married her Daughter to her Son’s killer.
@@cplmpcocptcl6306 Elizabeth Woodville never arranged the marriage of her daughter to Henry VII it was Margaret Beaufort who put the main pressure to secure her son on the throne after the battle of Bosworth.
You can tell that they were related. The all had that long flat jaw.
I noticed they hate mentioning the black Moors in these documentaries.
ya cannot argue ah benevolence on the part of
Richard the 3rd. Edward the 4th was likely
poisoned by a very good practitioner. his heir(s)
were underage,quickly killed&a military
dictatorship was begun,miraculously,by the
person whom,up to that time,had most of the
military under his control. replace English names
with Roman names&everyone would only come
to one,clear conclusion.
In the series The white Queen, Margaret Beaufort's cast character was so annoying.
2:34:34 he makes a mistake. It's Edward the 4th not the 6th.
Given the fact incestuous marriage kept the bloodline pure...history shows the effects of that

Looks like these favours of lands and titles were handed out like sweeties in the 1400s. My family tree in that period seems ridiculously overflowing with them. Pity none of them filtered down this way!
What about the people that really sorted stuff out. The engineers and inventors of the time. The people that made it all possible. Why do historians just concentrate of a few people at the top? Is it to maintain the myth of royalty and so we end up with Charles a man totally unworthy of the role of king, a protector of the defrocked sex offender Bishop Ball?
Where are the fucking dragons????!!??!?!?!
19:00. I think it was restricted because they didn't want Biata manipulating mayas way of thinking of her pain.
They wanted to make sure Biata didn't have any influence on Mayas healthcare so dr's could get a true unfiltered view on Maya's pain.
The princes in the tower could just as easily have died of any of the illnesses rampant in their time. Similarly, they could have been killed by someone who thought they were furthering Richard's cause, but without his knowledge or consent. Regardless of how they died, and even if Richard was in no wise to blame, he must have known that he would have been blamed for their deaths in any case. It would have been ironic if they had died of some fever or other "natural cause." Then again, it would make sense in terms of the reign of Henry VI and the power struggles surrounding the infant king, that having another underage king would have prolonged the instabilities and infighting that had been going on since Henry VI's infancy. For an adult Richard to have taken the throne would have brought stability. If he could have neutralized Stanley, he might have been able to pull it off.
Murdering so high born princess without of the knowledge of the king? Let’s be serious 😮
But I grant you that one- the overall situation was bad and War of The Roses lasted already for so long that everyone was tired of waring. Someone had to do something. Pity for Edward IV’th sons
That's if they died in the tower at all, and they weren't just a threat to Richard, they were a threat to Henry.
Yes, more so to Henry and his vile mother.
