Sp50E The Wars of the Roses (Zoom; OLLI @ Chico)
Zoom | Available (Membership Required)
The Cousins’ War, as it was called contemporaneously, that ripped apart the ruling Plantagenet family in England affords some insights into competitions for leadership, control, and alliances, even in the present day. Join us as we dissect the complicated relationships that played out in 15th-century England and ended with the throne occupied by the first Tudor king, Henry VII.
