According to the history books, after 30 years of bloody battles between the white-rosed Yorkists and the red-rosed Lancastrians, Henry Tudor rid us of civil war and the evil king Richard III. But Lucy reveals how the Tudors invented the story of the 'Wars of the Roses' after they came to power to justify their rule. She shows how Henry and his historians fabricated the scale of the conflict, forged Richard's monstrous persona and even conjured up the image of competing roses. When our greatest storyteller William Shakespeare got in on the act and added his own spin, Tudor fiction was cemented as historical fact. Taking the story right up to date, with the discovery of Richard III's bones in a Leicester car park, Lucy discovers how 15th-century fibs remain as compelling as they were over 500 years ago. As one colleague tells Lucy: 'Never believe an historian! (This one is the good version)

  1. Thank you SO SO much, I love all your hard work in sharing amazing documentaries :)
  2. Nice to hear truth from a mainstream historian. I bet that's the real reason 'they' took the series off tv when it had barely begun. 'They' really dislike anything said that goes against what the 'craperdemia' want the public to be told. Good on you for your truthfulness even though you would have known how 'they' may react. Brave of you.
  3. Lucy Worsley's history telling is innovative and refreshing. A breath of fresh air.
  4. Puzzling to me how the English have had so many religious wars, but the archetypal English mindset by nature seems wholly atheistic.
  5. Lucy is GREAT!!!!! An animal in bed too!!!!!
  6. Lucy is so charming and funny. Perfect host.
  7. lucy is very cute
  8. edward iv's dad and grandfather were never kings either big deal
  9. Her turbo blinking is so distracting . she sucks as host
  10. I just have more British genes in my ancestory than I realized, until now. I just want to take Lucy Worsley and ravish her.....not that I would with a woman married to someone else, just she makes me feel that way.
  11. This almost certainly never happened. The artifacts look too new, intricate, recently painted, well made, and faked to be real.
  12. I was glad to see Lucy chatting to Helen Castor!

  14. This is BBC propaganda and every nation on God's earth needs to be debunked.
    History and fibs ,so ?
    Britain at present is bending over backwards to please every illegal settler in the country.Can't speak about India,why not ?
    Can't speak about Saudi Arabia ?
    Can't speak about Islam as they control London ,former English capital, why not ?
    England and Britain is done for.Scotland is sliding towards open immigration if SNP continue in dictatorial power and so it goes.
    BBC the stealthy 5th column. Most of the workers are non Britons ,so what can we expect.
  15. She looks a lot like Holly Flax from the Office. Btw I love the show, thanks for uploading it!
  16. I suspect that 'Yorkshire Puddings' and 'Black Puddings' may have been metaphors for more formidable artillery items flung by such weapons as trebuchets and mangonels etc...
  17. I sure appreciate you! Subscribing now :)
  18. I do love this channel. I'm such a PBS/documentary junkie! I'm lucky to catch them in the middle of the night here in the states so I'm so glad I found this channel on YT. Thank you!! 😀
  19. Nothing new.
  20. it makes me soooo happy to see programs like this get almost a half a million views as of this writing.
