Matt Lewis/ Dr Nicola Tallis/ Nathen Amin – Who is to blame for the Wars of the Roses? - Thurs 23rd July 4.00pm
The Wars of the Roses tore England apart, a bitter civil war that left a trail of death in its wake. But what were the causes of this devastating conflict where cousin waged war on cousin, and just who was to blame for the bloodshed that left England's fields crimson.
In this exclusive new debate, three of Britain's leading 15th century historians ask - who's fault was it all?
