Britain’s Bloody Crown. s01e01.

Historian Dan Jones brings to life the events that led to the Wars of the Roses in a matey and vivid fashion, with the assistance of recreations of key events in this four-part series. Tonight, we see how the pitifully weak Henry VI was used as a pawn in a struggle for power between his wife Margaret, a formidable power to the side of the throne, and Richard of York, great-grandson of Edward III, pressing his own claim to the crown. The story has the feel of a football match that ends 5-4. David Stubbs
