  • Summary

  • Women played vital roles in the power struggles of the Wars of the Roses, but history hasn’t always been portrayed this way.

    In this episode we’re putting women back in the narrative, from Margaret of Anjou right the way through to Elizabeth of York and the start of the Tudor Dynasty. Curator Charles Farris and Dr Joanna Laynesmith talk us through the key women of the Wars of the Roses.
