Description

<p><strong>The real-life Game of Thrones continues - listen now.</strong></p><br><p>In the second part of our deep dive into the Wars of the Roses, Robert Hardman and Professor Kate Williams pick up the story at England’s bloodiest moment: the Battle of Towton. </p><br><p>From boy kings and warrior queens to vanishing princes and spectacular betrayals, this is the era when the crown changed hands with alarming regularity.</p><br><p>We follow Edward IV’s meteoric rise, Warwick the Kingmaker’s dramatic change of sides, the astonishing comeback of Henry VI, and Margaret of Anjou’s final, desperate bid to win a throne for her son. And when the dust seems to settle, trouble brews again with the arrival of one very determined Tudor.</p><br><p>It’s a tale of power, politics, omens in the sky, and a kingdom exhausted by decades of feuding. Join us as the saga accelerates toward its thunderous finale at Bosworth Field.</p><br><p>Hosts: Robert Hardman and Professor Kate Williams</p><p>Series Producer: Ben Devlin</p><p>Production Manager: Vittoria Cecchini&nbsp;</p><p>Executive Producer: Bella Soames</p><br><p><br></p><p>Hosts: Robert Hardman and Professor Kate Williams</p><p>Series Producer: Ben Devlin</p><p>Production Manager: Vittoria Cecchini&nbsp;</p><p>Executive Producer: Bella Soames</p><br><p>A Daily Mail production.
