House of Plantagenet - Part 4: Family Wars, Betrayal, and the Twilight of a Dynasty
As royal authority weakened, the Plantagenet dynasty turned inward, with rival branches of the same family competing for the English crown. In this episode, follow the deposition of Richard II, the rise of Lancaster and York, and the outbreak of the Wars of the Roses. From court intrigue to open civil war, decades of betrayal and shifting alliances reshaped England’s political landscape. The fall of Richard III at Bosworth Field in 1485 marked the end of Plantagenet rule and the beginning of the Tudor era.
