In our new animated historical documentary, we are covering the beginning of the Wars of the Roses and the battle of Towton (1461) which marked the end of the first part of the conflict. This video explains how the reigns of Edward III, Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V and Henry VI, alongside the Hundred Years' War influenced the dynastic situation in England and made the war between the Lancasters and Yorks inevitable.

0.Totally real photo of the scriptwriter: prntscr.com/le6gdk 1. It is a difficult topic, but we are ready to answer your every question, so don't hesitate to ask. 2. We cheated a little bit: Burgundy wasn't conquered by England and was an ally, but the topic is not the HYW, so the red is the extent of the English influence on the continent. Also, Henry Bolingbroke (future Henry IV) did not become the Duke of Lancaster until after his exile, as his father was still alive. 3. Many historians would disagree with us on the reasons which made the conflict inevitable. The main discussion is about the role of Edward III and the creation of the Duchies. 4.

@@SRosenberg203 I'm still going to argue that the Battle of Watling street, between Boudica and the Romans, was a bigger battle on English soil (or what is now English soil), both total-belligerents-wise and casualty-wise. If Cassius Dio is accurate on the numbers, then about 20% of the would-be independent Celts and Gauls in Roman Britain fought that day, at 230,000 people. Even if he's way overestimating, it's hard to cut this number into a figure that isn't more than what fought in Towton. And at 80,000 dead, again, if we look at conservative figures for what that really means, it still would seem to tower over all but the largest estimate of Towton, and that's only if we are super conservative on Watling St deaths and super liberal on Towton deaths.

When my grandfather was a state supreme court justice in Detroit in the 1970s, he dealt with an intense divorce settlement between Mr. and Mrs. Rose and when told to comment about it, he called it "The War of the Roses". Anyway, when the 1989 movie "The War of the Roses" came out, they realized my grandfather had already used it so asked my family for the authorization to do so - I'm not sure why! But now if you watch the movie, you can see our family acknowledged for the title's name. So yeah, whenever I hear about the "War of the Roses", I think about this funny little story. EDIT: Really enjoyed this video, as usual.

It’s not just the sources that account for the high casualties. There has been many mass graves discovered on and near the site, archaeology backing up the primary evidence. Many of the skeletons discovered appeared to have their hands behind their backs suggesting rather than being killed in battle the peasants (and not worth anything in ransom) were massacred. Brutal stuff!

Hate to tell you, as an archaeology student at the uni of york, your info is a bit out I suggest your read blood red rose. The individual said to have his hands tied behind a his back was a misreading of the osteological record. The casualty rate of the battle is quoted at 28,000 but translated sources are more like 20,000 Lancastrians and 8000 Yorkist. The mass graves uncovered and studied by Tim Sutherland have at most under 50 remains

@@fraser7214 Fair enough. A few questions then. As an archaeologist (or student of) what constitutes a mass grave? Is it much like hoards where relatively little needs to be found to constitute as such? Looking at the Towton 43 (which is i believe how many remains were found) would you say (or agree) that the remains showed signs of peri-mortem mutilation. Which at the very least suggests the absolute brutality of the fight. And finally, who's your tutor? Is Jonathan Finch still teaching Archaeology at York?

There's also probably still a TV documentary version called Blood Red Rose here on KZbin. As I recall, the whole hands-behind-back thing came mostly from one skeleton that the archeologists assigned the wrong arm until they ended up with a "spare" at the end. And while the poor were certainly disproportionately killed, one of the distinctive features of the Wars of the Roses was that the nobles cut down on ransoming each other in favor of just killing each other, too.

It was found that some of the skulls of the 43 had little chop wounds around the sides of the head, suggesting that they were made to kneel at the edge of graves ( that they had probably dug) and were taunted and had their ears sliced off before being killed and pushed into the hole. A lot of these professional soldiers probably knew and hated each other

Richard of York, Edmund and an Uncle beheaded and heads displayed in York, Edward IV only eighteen, both sides giving the order that no quarter be given and the fighting went on for hours until Norfolk’s fresh Yorkist men arrived to turn the tide. I could not imagine fighting an opponent for hours to the death while wearing armor.

So many twists and turns I was dizzy by the time Henry VI had his first breakdown! My main focus personally is in defense of Richard III ... relatively! Also, when Henry VI was lucid, he managed to establish Eton College for boys of less fortunate means, and was involved in all the details of the stunning final results.

Even today we have streets named after commanders in the battles (Fairfax street, Prince Rupert street). Great channel by the way.

You did a great job of covering so much information in a succint way. It's really hard to represent how many cousins with similar names were all feuding with each other during this period. An interesting addition might be to add which nephews took revenge on which uncles. For example atrocities were carried out on both sides as both had their brothers and fathers murdered by more distant uncles and cousins. For example, Edward IV did commit atrocities, but that was only after his father and brother were murdered and mutilated.

My only issue with the Battle at Towton is that contemporary historians and people with a particular fondness for the Wars of the Roses call this battle the bloodiest fought on the island which is Britain but The Battle of Brunanburh in 937 has always had that title and the accounts of it's occurrence as it was happening have always significantly stressed the slaughter. Plus, when you consider that battle was 3 Kings; Olaf Guthfrithson of Dublin, Owain of Strathclyde and Constantine II of Scotland, against King Athelstan of England, instead of just two Plantagenets fighting a civil war, the prestige of the ancient battle is far superior. This was a great episode of a great series as part of a great channel, don't get me wrong. Love this channel.

This is very interesting. I knew about Henry VII and how he helped to finish a long conflict, but I wasn't expecting to be somehow equally complicated and complex as the 100 Years War. Looking foward to learn more about the war that determinated England's unification process. As a suggestion Kings and Generals, I think it would be cool to check more unification processes when time better suits it, such as France, Portugal and Spain.
