The War of the Roses - Timeline Infographic

The War of the Roses is a complex set of events. This infographic breaks down the course of the conflict into twelve core twists in the history of England at that time. Instead of simply listing battles and dates, it looks at clusters of events and identifies in accessible terms the way that it impacted on the course of the War of the Roses. The timeline nature of the graphic allows learners to develop their understanding of the chronology. It can be used simply for display purposes or as a resource to be annotated with additional information. Dates, individuals, battles or links between different elements of the war can be drawn out in class discussion and added to the graphic. It is available as a jpeg and pdf to enable ease of printing and scalability for your own presentations.
