The history of 15th century England is marked by the so-called “War of the Two Roses”, which is how the Civil War between the House of Lancaster and the House of York is popularly known. The name comes from the fact that the two Houses’ respective symbols were a red rose and a white rose, both heirs to King Edward III and both aspirants to the throne
The tales of Shakespeare’s kings are filled with violence, hatred, corruption, reflection, maturity, unease, uncertainty, anger, pity…
