Wars of the Roses: introduction

(0)
An introduction to the Wars of the Roses. Introduces the key players, York vs Lancastaster, and an explanation of why the wars started. Includes a good video explaining the situation, a family tree and a comprehension task to help gain a good understanding of the Wars. They can find this REALLY confusing - I always find it helpful to draw the family tree on the board to talk through, and feedback is essential. A drawing of my family tree is included. No textbook needed.
