Course Description

Instructor:  Peter Campos

The Wars of the Roses was a conflict fiver hundred years ago between two cadet branches of the English royal Plantagenet family: The Lancastrians and the Yorkists. We will examine the origin of this conflict, the major battles fought during the reigns of Kings Henry IV and Edward IV, and the final reigns of Plantagenet Kings Edward V and Richard III. We will consider how Yorkist claims to the throne continued well in the reign of Henry VIII and what became of those claimants. We will also address some of the misconceptions and myths that have become part of established history.
