The Death of Kings sees Professor Bartlett discuss
the bloodiest decades of the Plantagenet’s history. Bartlett takes
viewers through how family rivalries became so brutal that close
relatives turned upon one another and usurped the crowns of Richard
II and Henry VI, which consequently led to the outbreak of the Wars
of the Roses.
Just as seen in previous episodes, Bartlett examines the battles
which defined this ruthless age, including Henry V’s gloried
victory at Agincourt in 1415, and the events at Bosworth field in
1485, which cemented the fall of King Richard III and concluded the
end of the Plantagenet line.
The Death of Kings will be broadcasted on BBC Two at
9pm on Monday 31st March and will be available to watch online soon
after the episode airs.
The final episode of the series was produced and directed by
Rosie Schellenberg.
