View full lesson:
Beginning around 1377, medieval England was shaken by a power struggle between two noble families, which spanned generations and involved a massive cast of characters, complex motives and shifting loyalties. Sound familiar? Alex Gendler illustrates how the historical conflict known as the Wars of the Roses served as the basis for much of the drama in Game of Thrones.

there is a tv show / book series about the wars of the roses called the white queen. I definitely recommend it. there's also a movie series called the hollow crown, which is essentially the shakespeare version of these events.
Wow neat ending
Henry VII looks like the most chill dude ever XD
This three brothers looking at the throne is probably what Noah hawley had gotten the idea for year two of fargo
Oh, ok. Now I understand the appeal to Game of Thrones.
We should make a movie đŹ
Oh please do one about Mary queen of Scots! That awful show Reign really messed up history bad…
gostei muito
I absolutely adore the animation. Really love this!
When you realise House Tyrells symbol is both the roses joined together
>there's people who think they know the end of game of thrones because they've seen this video.
All hail Lord Jon Snow , lord of lancaster and lord of york , protector of the realm , Lord regent of england and scotland , eh wait … wrong franchise .
You that it is serious when you get excluded to Ireland.
Also, geez. The English and their honor power struggles, smh. I'm sure they go on elsewhere but theirs are so dramatic and public.
Thank you for the history lesson! I learned about the War of Roses in school but it's been awhile so the details were fuzzy. I do not watch GoT but I tried once thinking it was a documentary series and was so sorely disappointed. I may try again knowing the truth behind the fiction.
Moral of story: To end a war, marry the enemy
Actually Henry came through Wales to bosworth
That's make sense since i don't believe anyone could make a story that long cough Game of throne cough
Make a pink rose
Warwick is pronounced Wohr-ick
i swear, if this channel existed when i was in school, i'd be so much smarter LOL
The ice zombies are just the angry Scottish
Before I watch the video
Is the war of the roses one of them?
