What a complicated part of history and it doesn't help that all of them were named Henry and Edward!

This was a helpful video! I have been through Dan Jones’ “The Plantagenets” and “The Wars of the Roses” a couple of times. This one helps to distill the background and highlight important early players such as “Good Duke Humphrey”. It is also helpful to highlight the families and family names such as Beaufort. If all one hears is that “Somerset was struck down at St Albans” it does not help one to understand the significance of that statement in regards to one such as Margaret Beaufort, who we all know ultimately delivered the crown via Lancastrian lineage to the renamed Tudor line.

I did. I went back in time and told the Yorkists that the Lancastrians thought they sucked. Didn’t expect this to happen.

The trouble with the Wars of the Roses is that this period of history WAS extremely complicated and there’s no ‘easy’ way to simplify the issues that culminated with Henry VII winning the crown 👑 of England at the Battle of Bosworth and the beginning of the Tudor era…. I studied this in College and have recently watched multiple videos on several dedicated History Channels, and I still get muddled up with The Wars of the Roses 🌹 … And yes they do all have similar names - lots of Henrys, Johns and Edwards (you don’t hear much about Lionel…) plus they’re all cousins and inter-married, and on top of this it’s just a very messy and bloody period in English history.

What was really amazing is that these tedious bloodthirsty schemers could inspire the soaring language and breathtaking myths of Marlowe and Shakespeare.

We in Lancashire and Yorkshire like to pretend we still hate each other. Eg. Whats the best thing to come out of Yorkshire? The M62 to Lancashire (or vice versa). 🌹

Henry IV, started the war of the roses when he deposed Richard II and usurped the throne from Edmund Mortimer. He was the uncle of Richard Duke of York. York inherited the estates (and title) of the Earl of March because of his mother's death which should have been the crown.

You have skipped the original usurpation of the rightful heir when Henry Bolingbroke (son of John of Gaunt, 3rd son of Edward III) deposed Richard II, becoming Henry IV, father of Henry. V. Edward III having many sons, the families of three children were to lay a claim to the throne in one way or another. The other point you haven’t mentioned is that John of Gaunt’s bastard line, the Beauforts were barred from inheriting the throne but managed to wangle their fortunes into eventually begetting the next three kings after Henry VI, namely Edward IV and Richard III through their grandmother Joan Beaufort, mother of Cecily Neville; and Henry VII through his mother, Margaret Beaufort. NB: I wrote this before watching the full documentary. A salutary tale!

May I suggest that you make the background sounds/music more quiet so that the narration can be easier to hear.

This story with some changes and a little bit of monster and magic could make a great TV Series.

Tudors: Not so much a strong dynasty as a strong-arm dynasty!

In the US, the Hatfield and McCoy feud is child's play in comparison.

It's weird that they didn't like that Henry's wife was French, considering she was his cousin through his French mother.
