Sudeley Castle - A Love Affair

This video explores the relationship between Sudeley Castle and Royalty, in particular the relationship between Edward IV, the Yorkist king, and Eleanor Boteler, asking what were the longer term consequences of this lover affair.

A magnificent castle and grounds too! 😲 😊 Love the history lesson about the War of The Roses too 😄 👍👍

This is the most succinct explanation of the Wars of the Roses and what led up to it. Many thanks.

I have just finished reading "The Secret Queen" by John Ashdown and I come across this while looking for Billy Cotton. Wonderful.

Lovely video, I hope to visit Sudely castle someday, phenomenal history there! Incidentally, Anne of Cleves, fourth wife of Henry VIII, outlived Katherine Parr, his sixth and final wife.

Wow! Beautiful English landscapes and Sudeley castle. Easy to understand with the family tree sketched out on the board. Always feel sad about the fate of the two young princes in the Tower of London whenever I come cross their story. Great history telling. Thank you.

If that were true, then what was Warwick the Kingmaker doing arranging Edward's marriage with a French Princess? Cat swings both ways. Ego there was no pre-contract or if there were Warwick was planning to annul it.

Edward kept his marriages to Eleanor Butler and Elizabeth Wydville secret. When he finally had to tell Warwick of his marriage to Elizabeth, as negotiations with the French Princess had progressed so far, he finally had to tell him the truth, Warwick was incandescent with anger. It made him look a fool to the French and the rest of the Court. That was the beginning of the end of the relationship between Edward and Warwick "The Kingmaker".
