The new ten part miniseries from Starz’s dives into Philippa Gregory’s War of the Roses trilogy, historical fiction about the women who ruled — and those who desperately wanted to rule — the medieval British court of the late 1400s.
The show digs into the relationships between Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort, and Anne Neville — and there’s plenty to dig into. It’s an incredibly turbulent and bloody period of English history, when claims to the throne were plentiful and allegiances were shaky (at best).
