Join us at Southwark Cathedral for a day of short talks about the powerful women of the Wars of the Roses.
For nearly fifty years, the rival houses of Lancaster and York battled to take the crown of England, and once they had taken it, to hold it. In this day of talks from experts, we will hear about the courage, the resourcefulness, the trauma, and the sheer resilience of six remarkable women who were at the heart of the Wars of the Roses.
