George Goodwin: Significance of Henry VI and Towton - Wars of the Roses

The podcast below is taken from a talk by historian Geoge Goodwin, given at Harrogate Grammar School on 28th September 2012. The talk is based on George's book: "Fatal Colours" about the Battle of Towton. In the talk, George explains the significance of Henry VI's mental illness as well as the significance of the Battle of Towton itself. This is a great place to start when thinking about the significance of people or events. George's book "Fatal Colours" is now available in paperback and is a very engaging and entertaining read. It was also very well received in the historical community and might make an excellent base on which to begin a Personal Study.

Apologies for the quality
