- In our new animated historical documentary, we are covering the beginning of the Wars of the Roses and the battle of Towton (1461) which marked the end of the first part of the conflict. This video explains how the reigns of Edward III, Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V and Henry VI, alongside the Hundred Years' War influenced the dynastic situation in England and made the war between the Lancasters and Yorks inevitable.

1. It is a difficult topic, but we are ready to answer your every question, so don't hesitate to ask.
2. We cheated a little bit: Burgundy wasn't conquered by England and was an ally, but the topic is not the HYW, so the red is the extent of the English influence on the continent. Also, Henry Bolingbroke (future Henry IV) did not become the Duke of Lancaster until after his exile, as his father was still alive.
3. Many historians would disagree with us on the reasons which made the conflict inevitable. The main discussion is about the role of Edward III and the creation of the Duchies.

You cheaters, you lied to me:(
Joke aside guys, really daring topic, the wars of England(from romans to ww2) are a hell to understand, yet you done a great work. People are going to disagree on this topic, making the war inevitable... uhh, I mean a lot of arguments will rise up. Although i think you nailed this subject!
Will you guys eventually do the hundred years war in more detail and preferably talk about the French victories too. There aren't many good videos on them
why you always have a good content ?
are you a lecturer?
Kings and Generals (Battle of Annual ) please🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ottoman wars Please
Medieval England or
"How not to play Crusader Kings 2."
I mean, until 1204 they had a pretty good game going on
And we all know what happened a few hundred years after this and Britain formed.
That empire that the sun never set on and all that.
@@jordancox305 Bad at Ck2, good at EU4.
Curious thing, *'The Empire in which the sun never sets'* was a title originally coined for the Spanish Empire, prior to the rise of the British Empire. As well as other colonial empires.
T C Yeah but the British empire was much larger than all of them.
Imagine freezing in the middle of a blinding snow storm, and other than the deafening wind, only being able to hear distant, sardonic laughter drifting toward you, knowing the enemy is somewhere close by, but just out of sight. Absolutely chilling.
Yeah, scary stuff. And the arrows fly in.
the sky darkened with arrows, and the sound as well must have been quite something, imagine thousands of arrows flying at once
This war is so dam confusing, Warwick switches sides like three times and so much so that they called him ‘The Kingmaker’. Some books at my school had to use a simplified polaroid cartoon and three pages to explain what the heck was going on.
Civil wars have this in common. I don't think historians will ever be able to really figure out what happened in Syria.
Keeping the genealogy straight is hard enough without alliances being broken & remade.
funny how the game of thrones was made about this war. Kingmaker became kingslayer :D
@@eriknagy159 The Syrian civil war is not any more complicated than any other civil war of history. If anything its more muddy because its contemporary and almost everyone has a vested interest to shape the narrative.
@@mogyesz9 why do you telling me this ????
When my grandfather was a state supreme court justice in Detroit in the 1970s, he dealt with an intense divorce settlement between Mr. and Mrs. Rose and when told to comment about it, he called it "The War of the Roses". Anyway, when the 1989 movie "The War of the Roses" came out, they realized my grandfather had already used it so asked my family for the authorization to do so - I'm not sure why! But now if you watch the movie, you can see our family acknowledged for the title's name.
So yeah, whenever I hear about the "War of the Roses", I think about this funny little story.
EDIT: Really enjoyed this video, as usual.
Nice story bro
Got any link or something for that?
SonofaGlitch Quite interesting.
@@MidlifeCrisisJoe It isn't that I don't believe him, I'm just too lazy to look it up :P
@@sjakierulez Hey man,
Sorry for the late reply, just saw it. The story was told by my Grandma and I trust her. Here is a link to the transcript (somehow you can buy them on Amazon), where you can see the two "Roses" and my Grand-Father (Ivan E. Barris). www.amazon.com/Wertheimer-Supreme-Transcript-Supporting-Pleadings/dp/127058183X
But other than that, there isn't much more information so I understand why you wouldn't believe me. No worries.
I hope you had a Happy New Year!
Somebody should make a series of books on this but with more ice zombies and dragons.
and somebody should film it but get carried away and massively balls up the ending.
Not 100% sure but I believe that both of those things have happen
The population of England at that time was around 3 million people. 2% of the population fought in that battle and 1% were killed. Few single battles in history have killed 1% of the population of a country.
Fuck man thats hardcore
Yeah, even Stalingrad only killed a fraction of 1% of the Russian population. I don't know what % of the overall Roman population died at Cannae, but Hannibal definitely killed more than 1% of all fighting-age men in Rome. Not the same thing, but still.
@@SRosenberg203 For Cannae, I've heard figures of 5% to 10% of the male Roman population.
@@Lttlemoi Yeah that's about accurate to how I've seen it described also.
@@SRosenberg203 I'm still going to argue that the Battle of Watling street, between Boudica and the Romans, was a bigger battle on English soil (or what is now English soil), both total-belligerents-wise and casualty-wise. If Cassius Dio is accurate on the numbers, then about 20% of the would-be independent Celts and Gauls in Roman Britain fought that day, at 230,000 people. Even if he's way overestimating, it's hard to cut this number into a figure that isn't more than what fought in Towton. And at 80,000 dead, again, if we look at conservative figures for what that really means, it still would seem to tower over all but the largest estimate of Towton, and that's only if we are super conservative on Watling St deaths and super liberal on Towton deaths.
So many of the Ancient and Medieval battles go like this:
1) The infantry charges at each other !
2) One of the sides sends cavalry !
3) The cavalry is repeled by reserves !
4) The other side's reserves charge instead and rout the whole enemy army !
THE END !
Agree
Now we can just expect this in almost every battle video we watch
@@umaransari9765 Yes, the only things that are helping us get trought this are:
1) the background music and
2) The historical context before the battle !
13:34 I love this music more than any song in the world
ehh.....modern warfare usually start by one side shoot each other and one side get pin down by machine gun then the other calls artilerry or air support.
not necessarily with good tactical commanders on both sides battles can last many days ....
also this is just a very simplified explanation
" The War of the Roses stemmed..." nice
;-)
It’s not just the sources that account for the high casualties. There has been many mass graves discovered on and near the site, archaeology backing up the primary evidence. Many of the skeletons discovered appeared to have their hands behind their backs suggesting rather than being killed in battle the peasants (and not worth anything in ransom) were massacred. Brutal stuff!
Hate to tell you, as an archaeology student at the uni of york, your info is a bit out I suggest your read blood red rose. The individual said to have his hands tied behind a his back was a misreading of the osteological record. The casualty rate of the battle is quoted at 28,000 but translated sources are more like 20,000 Lancastrians and 8000 Yorkist. The mass graves uncovered and studied by Tim Sutherland have at most under 50 remains
@@fraser7214 Fair enough. A few questions then. As an archaeologist (or student of) what constitutes a mass grave? Is it much like hoards where relatively little needs to be found to constitute as such? Looking at the Towton 43 (which is i believe how many remains were found) would you say (or agree) that the remains showed signs of peri-mortem mutilation. Which at the very least suggests the absolute brutality of the fight. And finally, who's your tutor? Is Jonathan Finch still teaching Archaeology at York?
There's also probably still a TV documentary version called Blood Red Rose here on TH-cam. As I recall, the whole hands-behind-back thing came mostly from one skeleton that the archeologists assigned the wrong arm until they ended up with a "spare" at the end. And while the poor were certainly disproportionately killed, one of the distinctive features of the Wars of the Roses was that the nobles cut down on ransoming each other in favor of just killing each other, too.
@Claystead Having recently seen the heads of his brother and father on spikes over the gates of York, Edward wasn't exactly filled with the milk of human kindness at Towton.
It was found that some of the skulls of the 43 had little chop wounds around the sides of the head, suggesting that they were made to kneel at the edge of graves ( that they had probably dug) and were taunted and had their ears sliced off before being killed and pushed into the hole. A lot of these professional soldiers probably knew and hated each other
I’m just a student but my passion project has been a novel about the wars of the roses. Writing the Battle of Towton was probably the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. The amount of drama in just the facts is palpable and writing from the POVs of Edward and Somerset was an insane amount of fun. I thank English history for being so full of incredible stories!
Best of luck, hopefully we are all going to buy your novel down the line. :-)
Kings and Generals
Thank you, that’s very generous! I’m not much of a writer, but if anyone wants a published novelization of the Wars of the Roses I recommend Conn Iggulden.
lol random French Imperial banner
Another excellent documentary video about one of my favourite periods in English history the War of the Roses
I actually live in ferrybridge and the the later rebuilt bridge itself still stands today with this battle a part of the village history
I've visted the battlefield back in 2014. Wasn't there some fighting along the river that isn't mentioned in the video? I seem to remember looking over the river and some cow pastures there, and there were a couple of historical boards up about the fighting near the creek/river.
sopwithsnoopy Perhaps you're talking about 12:21 ? They stated that few fights happened to regain the control of the river's access points.
That Guy Perhaps...I was thinking though that after the Lancastrians started to retreat and escape, there was fighting at the river as troops tried to escape across it. I may very well be thinking of a different battle though, and the historical plaques we saw might have been the opening crossings.
There was fighting at the river after they tried to escape and within 3 or so days the battle of towton began I believe however I've never seen any plaques around the river or bridge
I grew up in Castleford, cool to see it featured in an ancient battle map.
See they lost because they left the high ground!
i live 15 minutes from where this battle took place and it's surprising how such a big battle occurred there and yet everyone who drives towards towton always goes straight past it.
I often drive past Towton during the summer when I go fishing up near Ullerskelf, just looking out over where the battlefield would have been fills my mind with some excellent images.
Yeah, the battlefields always have that atmosphere...
I live 5 minutes away from Bosworth field and every time I walk around it I get the same feeling, trying to imagine what was going on.
"The Lancesters send their regards."
*lancastrians
Sklik u didn’t get the joke....
@@af8511 no i do lol. But that's just as far from lannister as lancastrian. It was just a typo not part of the joke
Sklik no if he said the right word it might be vague it was intentionally written to make it better in that way
it’s obvious that lancastrians and lancesters sound different
Since Lannisters end with an E vowel while Lancasterians end ends with somewhat of an A vowel
Therefore “Lancesters” sounds better for the joke.
I tell york that kingmaker
Thank you for your great work; your videos are addicting! I find this battle and the lead up to it compelling. Richard of York, Edmund and an Uncle beheaded and heads displayed in York, Edward IV only eighteen, both sides giving the order that no quarter be given and the fighting went on for hours until Norfolk’s fresh Yorkist men arrived to turn the tide. I could not imagine fighting an opponent for hours to the death while wearing armor.
Thanks for supporting us :-)
Have to appreciate Good Civ V music when you hear it :)
Another great video from Kings & Generals :)
As fellow content creators, I can say many Indonesian love your channels :D
Indeed we are
Malaysian here, i really wish that they could do a video on South East Asian history such as the Srivijaya or Majapahit, that would be awesome
:')
reporting sire 07
I wonder why we dont love our own history as much as England's
Bring it on, one of the most interesting parts of history.
More on the way!
English history is my favorite subject of them all. I definitely going to enjoy this series.
Thanks! :-)
Kings and Generals no thank you!
My only issue with the Battle at Towton is that contemporary historians and people with a particular fondness for the Wars of the Roses call this battle the bloodiest fought on the island which is Britain but The Battle of Brunanburh in 937 has always had that title and the accounts of it's occurrence as it was happening have always significantly stressed the slaughter. Plus, when you consider that battle was 3 Kings; Olaf Guthfrithson of Dublin, Owain of Strathclyde and Constantine II of Scotland, against King Athelstan of England, instead of just two Plantagenets fighting a civil war, the prestige of the ancient battle is far superior. This was a great episode of a great series as part of a great channel, don't get me wrong. Love this channel.
The Triple Entente of Richard: Richard of York, Richard of Warwick, and Richard of Salisbury. The Yorkist Faction were so creative in naming family members!
10/10 appreciate the transparency about disagreement among historians. It's nice to know when things are still debated.
History is a very dynamic field beneath the surface. :-)
We do know what happened - Edward III created a new class of nobility by granting Duchies to his sons. The debate is mainly about the effects of that decision.
@The Unknown History is about interpretation, we never have a fully accurate and non-biased view of the past and need to view and interpret it. This is when disagreements arise. :)
Lancasters- Lannisters
Yorks- Starks
Henry VI- Robert Baratheon
Margaret of Anjou- Cersei Lannister
Richard of York- Eddard Stark (probably)
Edward of York- Robb Stark
Edward of Lancaster (son of Henry VI)- Joffrey Baratheon
But who are the Tudors? Tyrell or Tully?
I think that Tyrells beacouse they supported Lancasters, like Tyrells supported Lannisters. Also their sigils are very similar.
Edward IV = Robert Baratheon. Won his crown on the battlefield, ruled badly afterward and made terrible political decisions
Filip Frymark The tudors didn’t so much as support the Lancaster’s they just replaced them when the Lancaster’s were wiped out
Richard III - Stannis
I'm from Pontefract and it's great to see my hometown and places I grew up in featured, it's amazing to have such a tie to history, especially such pivotal history for your country
Would love you to do an episode on the little known English Civil war battles of Bristol 1643 and 1645. Both battles had a massive effect on what was Englands second city , with the Norman castle being demolished after the second battle/siege (Cromwell feared its defensive capacity). Even today we have streets named after commanders in the battles (Fairfax street, Prince Rupert street). Great channel by the way.
This is a professional production, very well done!
Only if he had a dragon
Or 3. :-)
Any one here because duelists of the roses
GoT: wait, *that's illegal*
If only *
Colby recommends this to me! Very accurate and comprehensive video!
You did a great job of covering so much information in a succint way. It's really hard to represent how many cousins with similar names were all feuding with each other during this period. An interesting addition might be to add which nephews took revenge on which uncles. For example atrocities were carried out on both sides as both had their brothers and fathers murdered by more distant uncles and cousins. For example, Edward IV did commit atrocities, but that was only after his father and brother were murdered and mutilated.
Just what I needed for my Sunday, thanks Kings 😁
Thanks for spending your time with us :-)
"Don't try it, York's, we have the high ground!"
"You underestimate my power!!"
To remember that the weather conditions for that Palm Sunday in 1461 were abnormal being bitterly cold, wet with poor visibility contributing significantly to the final outcome of that bloody battle!
The area is worth visiting to get a true idea of the scale of that encounter.
Great vid mate ! Can't wait for more War of the Roses , fascinating period .
OH MAN! My favorite medieval conflict! Excellent breakdown I will save ...
and return to for reference many times, I'm sure ..
What a mess to sort out though, and well done!
So many twists and turns I was dizzy by the time Henry VI had his first breakdown!
My main focus personally is in defense of Richard III ... relatively!
Also, when Henry VI was lucid, he managed to establish Eton College for boys of less fortunate means, and was involved in all the details of the stunning final results.
Thank you :-)
There is a good series of books by Conn Iggulden covering the War of the Roses.
Kings and Generals did a great job of summarising a very complex dynastic struggle - one that very easily fits into four books
Thank you!
@@scott2452 I devoured that series a few years ago. He makes a point of portraying the Lancasters and Margaret of Anjou in particular much more favorably than most of history does. It makes you wonder how much of her reputation as a ruthless and power hungry monarch was based on reality. Portraying the French foreigner as the villainous queen influencing weak King Henry would have been an easy sell to the English nobility(and people at large honestly).
Yeah, the stereotype of the "evil French princess" was already ingrained in the English psyche because of Isabel.
Is it good?? I have the first book at home but I haven’t started reading it yet.
Well done! You explain this very well! Thank you.
Great summary of the context - very clear
15:15 Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East.
And it was the East. :-)
but all i saw was yeast....
WOOOOOOOOOOOTTT!!!!! Thats the best!!! LOL
excellent as usual! Pleaaase do a video on the year 1453, with the effective end of the 100 years war with the battles of Formigny and Castillon, surely the most important battles of the war, often forgotten.
Thanks! Planning to, down the line!
And don't forget Patay ;)
And battle of Rocroi
So excited when I saw the title of this video. Thanks to all who created and funded this project. 👏💕
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for uploading quality videos regularly. Love to watch your vidoes.
Thank you for watching!
0 dislike! Thanks for the great video again:) we are inpatiently waiting for new Ottoman videos!
Thank you! They will come!
The war of the roses makes ASOIAF seem simple, there were so many players and twists in the real life game of thrones
Yeah, and this is a very simplified version. :-)
Excellent break down of the War of the Roses. Im across the pond in North Carolina and find English Wars quite facinating. Thanks for the clear information.
A big thanks for making videos for war of roses.as always done a marvellous job.
Thank you!
Beautiful video, but can you make videos about Pyrrhic Wars ?
Thanks. We will!
@@lewisw3436 i agree with you
@@KingsandGenerals Man Pyrrhus of Epirus gets way too bad of a rap despite being a fantastic commander.
War of the Roses, much like the US Civil War, one of the bloodiest in their History, respectfully. Good job covering the beginning and looking forward to more "coverage." Thanks Fellas.
Thanks for watching ":-)
Its complicated, isn't it?
The animation of the horses battling looked extremely silly, BUT on the other hand, the animation of the snow was an incredible touch; because it fell from OUR direction, which is the clouds, where we are looking from. Somehow I'm very fascinated by this detail.
I watch all these videos. The best on TH-cam and the narrator is absolutely unique.
Thanks :-)
Lancaster... hm this house's name reminds me another house... 😉
Lancaster and York are actually names George R. R. Martin took and then twisted to create the names Lannister and Stark. Wars of the Roses were the largest part of the inspiration for Game of Thrones.
@@bvthebalkananarchistmapper5642 agree.. the dynastic dispute, races to the throne, and all that
The interesting thing is who won at the end.
A Lancaster always pays his debts
Reminds me Martin's Battle of the Redgrass Field "the grass was not red when the sun came up"
Great video!!!!!!!!!Please make a video about the Battle of Bosworth Field
Thanks, yes, it will come!
@@KingsandGenerals I put greek subtitles in this video.
@@user-ij7sp6op6q thank you very much, approved!
I love the visuals used here. It's a complex, yet fascinating topic, and this here is a master class, with the added benefit of basically looking like a longplay of Crusader Kings, haha. Congratulations to all.
great stuff. thank you for this, cant wait for more war of the roses! content!
Thanks for watching, more on the way. :-)
Just surrender Maine
No
Remember Russia in winter?
not gonna give up that juicy PU that easily
why surrender Maine when you can take Paris
@@SaintPanzerker Then lose it to an 18 year old girl lol
Confusing but still fantastic!
Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions - I am here to answer anything.
A wonderful period of English history, thank you so much for all your hard work!! I very much look forward to future installments!! Excellent work!!
Thanks for watching!
Ah yes, the deadliest national battle how wonderful 🤣
This was a great video. It was really helpful as I’ve just started History a level and this is part of my syllabus. Thank you very much.
Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions about these events.
Love your videos. One correction to make: the red rose of Lancaster is a myth. It didn't exist until Henry VII created the Tudor Rose as a way of subjugating the white Yorkshire rose. The Lancastrians never fought under the red rose.
Yeah, that is true, it is a "romanticization" of the events, basically.
Yugi-oh - The Duelist of Rose
Another great video by kind and generals channel
I'm gonna be honest, I knew nothing of the War of the Roses prior to Game of Thrones. But now I am hooked and deeply interested in this topic.
"It's over Edward I have the Hight ground "
Henry VI
King Eddie almost created a warring states period in England,Wales and Ireland.
Yeah, the duchies did not help.
Thanks for posting, very detailed.
Thanks for watching :-)
I really like all the history in the lead up to the battle, great job.
Thank you! Working on more, as usual :-)
The bloodiest battle in British history, which also happened to be part of the largest piece of historical inspiration for the Game of Thrones. I see that the Lancasters and Yorks are red and grey, respectively. Is that a way to signify that they were the respective inspirations for GoT's Lannisters and Starks, who used the same colours? :)
Great video as always. There is one thing I do not understand. How could Edward easily made himself crowned while his far more prestigious father at the time could not even get his staunchest followers to accept it? I mean yeah, Henry's popularity was on an elevator going down but still it does not make sense much to me.
Richard became the official heir with the Accord. Killing him changed the outlook and gave Edward more support.
Edward was extremely charismatic young and virile a total contrast to henry
definatley more of these boss this was one of your best
Thank you, good sir!
Yesss been waiting for this
Hope, you enjoyed it :-)
England was broke? Yeah, I kept hearing that before the 1444’s by the Plantagenets
He was french. Just deal with it :)
@@alexandre.p3244 culturally speaking yes. Yet he was born corsican, france annexed corsica when he was a little boy.
+Raven Strategist France bought Corsica before Napoleon was born. They than crushed the rebellion
@lvan Big Nob Corsica had been populated by ethnic french for centuries by the time Napoleon was born. He was ethnically french from the beginning and then politically french by the time he was a little boy. Either way, he's french.
Corsica was owned by Genoa till the year he was born.He was born in an Italian family and his name was Napoleone Buonaparte so he was a French Italian speaker of Genoese descendancy from Corsica.
Yorkshire!
Conrats guys, you are about to complete one million subs
I love history and I must say this is one the best video made regarding a history especially I love a form how this video has been made. Very clearly explained even for those who have never touched English history....
Thanks!
The ultimate dis for a battlefield archer: being shot with their own arrow.
Do a video on the Sikh Empire
Yes!
User sick is asking for a video about the sick empire
anh tuan nguyen under the definition of Empire it was an empire.
I too would love to learn more about the Sikhs, their traditions and their relationship with the British Raj!
yes
Great video as always and I love the high middle ages from all the sources we've got. Have you heard of James I of Aragon? You could cover his Valencia campaign or his conquest of Mallorca in another reconquista series.
Thank you! We'll see!
brilliant episode as usual❤❤❤
Thanks!
Battle of mohacs please?
It will come!
Kings and Generals yeah that would be a good video
The deadliest battle on english soil was Watling Street!
Doesn't really count as that was before England existed. It was on Brythonic soil, not English soil
@@Chickenboi4eva roman soil ;)
The casualties of Watling street are completely exaggerated though.
Great video as always
Thank you!
Loving the music, guys!

And CK2. :-)
Battle of Bileca pleas
tarik begic what is the battle of bileca
Is the battle where otoman empier is first deafeted my english sucks
war of the roses at least! thx u so much for king and generals! of course there are many arguments and perspective of this history. but absolutely, this is a very wonderful video to make this historical event less complicated to learn.
Thanks for watching :-)
This is very interesting. I knew about Henry VII and how he helped to finish a long conflict, but I wasn't expecting to be somehow equally complicated and complex as the 100 Years War. Looking foward to learn more about the war that determinated England's unification process. As a suggestion Kings and Generals, I think it would be cool to check more unification processes when time better suits it, such as France, Portugal and Spain.
damn Margaret is badass. her weakly husband was lucky to have her
The bloodiest battle on english soil yet ;)
Hopefully, it will remain the bloodiest.
@@KingsandGenerals If Nelson hadn't won at Trafalgar I'd bet we'd have seen a bloodier one after that
It wasn't bloody enough.
Always love you're videos 👍
Thank you!
These videos are great. the amount of information is fantastic,. I know you do historic battles and dabbled in the GoT but would you be willing to do a Lord of the rings series of videos?
I've become addicted to these videos
Just imagine; You are an archer, lining up in the rank.
The wind is blowing snow in your face.
You can't see a thing, but try to shoot as far as possible.
You shoot the volley. You are trying to see or hear something that would indicate how successful your volley was.
But you hear laughter, carried to you by the wind.
And then volley after volley of arrows comes flying at you.
Even though you shoot back, you know there is nothing you can do.
And all the while, your opponents are laughing.
Great video!
Thanks!
great video as usual
Thanks!
Great as always 👍🏻😊
Thank you :-)
Really live your vids! Can you do one on the siege of Ueda castle!?
amazing suggestion and amazing video!
Thanks for watching :-)
So fascinating, The War of The Roses. I cannot wait to see more!
Thank you! More on the way!
Kings and Generals Yaaasss.
