‘The Cousins’ War’ – an introduction to the Wars of the Roses

<p><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt">Red and white roses, Richard III under a car park, the princes in the Tower, fake claimants to the throne, the bloodiest battle in British history, death by drowning in wine, accusations of witchcraft and magic, the emergence of the Tudors … it’s all here! This is a short one-off course to introduce the novice to the tumultuous years of the late 15^th century in Britain. I am planning to run a longer course on this colourful period next academic year.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt">A chronological run through the events of the ‘Cousins’ War’ (as it was known) focusing on the events listed above, plus many others. No prior knowledge of this complex period is needed as this is purely an introduction to this fascinating and entertaining period stuffed full of interesting characters.</span></span></p>
