British History: Royals, Rebels, and Romantics – Details, episodes & analysis

In all the battles of the Wars of the Roses, with the focus on kings and warriors, we often lose sight of the women. Positioned to be queen first of Team Lancaster and eventually of Team York, Anne Neville is the focus of a new book by Rebecca Batley.

History shows us what's possible.

The Tudors are one of the most famous dynasties in royal history. We can't stop talking about them. It's easy to forget how unlikely the dynasty was. Without the extraordinary ability of Margaret Beaufort to make connections with both sides of the Wars of the Roses, we probably never would have had a Tudor dynasty!
