The Wars of the Roses: Society at War in the 15th Century
Saturday 26th March 2011
Saturday 26th March 2011
One day conference at the Tower of London.
Ever since William Shakespeare wrote his cycle of history plays the characters and events of the Wars of the Roses have gripped the popular imagination. This inter-disciplinary conference commemorates the 550th anniversary of the battle of Towton, the bloodiest and most violent encounter between the opposing Lancastrian and Yorkist armies.
The conference will bring together some of the leading historians of the later middle ages who will re-evaluate our current thinking into different aspects of the conflict.
