The Wars Of The Roses, one of the most brutal and bloodiest civil wars in England’s long and sometimes violent history. A war which not only saw the crown change hands several times throughout its course, but claimed the lives of many of its participants - commoners and nobles alike. Today, I am going to take you through the lives of two of its main protagonists - King Henry VI of England - a weak and feeble king, and his Queen - the strong and formidable Margaret of Anjou. I will show you how the rule of this weak king brought havoc to England and led to many battles conducted up and down the country that were literally fought to the death - with absolutely no quarter given.
