The Plantagenet Bloodline – England’s Most Bloody Dynasty | Full Documentary

Video Description

They ruled England for three centuries—longer than any dynasty before or since. Fourteen kings, eight branches, an empire stretching from Scotland to the Pyrenees. Yet the Plantagenets are remembered not for the cathedrals they built or the laws they forged, but for the blood they spilled—their own. Brother betrayed brother, sons rebelled against fathers, cousins murdered cousins in a dynastic war so savage it would be named for flowers. From Henry II's clash with Thomas Becket to Richard the Lionheart's ransom that bankrupted England, from the signing of Magna Carta to the Wars of the Roses, this is the story of a family that conquered nations but could never master their own nature. Witness the rise of the Angevin Empire, the brutality of Edward Longshanks, the tragedy of murdered princes in the Tower, and the final battle at Bosworth Field where the dynasty died.
