In the climax of Shakespeare’s thrilling play Richard III, the great Bard describes how Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York were ‘conjoined’, bringing together the warring houses of York and Lancaster and ending the Wars of the Roses. It is this political marriage that gave birth, symbolically and literally, to the Tudor Dynasty. In this enthralling and new talk, historian and author Nathen Amin takes a closer look at Henry and Elizabeth, parents of Henry VIII and founders of the mightiest dynasty that ruled this kingdom.
It is a tale of war, love, and grief, with a legacy we still feel today.
Refreshments will be available.
