A-LEVEL HISTORY LESSONS


WARS OF THE ROSES LESSONS FOR A-LEVEL HISTORY

Detailed teaching ideas for the Wars of the Roses are below

A HARVEST OF HEADS

Explore the personality of Henry VI through a lesson that is designed to develop
your classes understanding of the period. This Context-driven approach enables a
breadth of understanding about the intricacies of the court.

FACTIONS AND FEUDS

This lesson looks at the structure of Government in Henry’s Minority and
Majority. From here it explores the way in which decision making was conducted.
Sources are introduced to show students some of the reasons why factions began
to develop. This encourages them to think about how this may affect the workings
of government.

A PAPER CROWN

What went wrong for Richard, 3rd Duke of York? This lesson explores the
turbulent events of 1459/60. Students will gain an awareness of the various
pressures upon both factions at the time.

THE PERSONALITY OF KING HENRY VI

What did Henry’s contemporaries think of him? This lesson examines a series of
sources to develop an awareness of different views. It also explores why
commentators interpreted him so differently.

HOW DID EDWARD IV GAIN THE CROWN IN 1461? 

From despair to glory. How was Edward able to turn a dire situation around so
quickly?

CONSOLIDATING POWER: THE EDWARD IV ROLL

This lesson takes a close look at the imagery in the Edward IV roll.

What is the purpose of the Edward IV Roll?

THE ‘SHE-WOLF OF FRANCE’: IS THIS A FAIR ASSESSMENT OF MARGARET OF ANJOU?

Margaret of Anjou’s role in the build-up to the outbreak of the Wars of the
Roses and its early stages is subject to much debate. Shakespeare’s caricature
of her being a ‘She-Wolf’ remains a popular view. But how accurate is this
assessment of Henry VI’s wife and Queen? This lesson explores the evidence.



EDWARD IV AND ELIZABETH WOODVILLE: IMPACT OF THEIR MARRIAGE ON THE STATE

The secret marriage of King Edward IV to Elizabeth Woodville was both unexpected
and unwanted by many in the Council. Yet, it had to be accepted. The
implications were large at court and ultimately throughout the country. In this
A-Level lesson, we examine the consequences of various aspects of changes that
the marriage resulted in.

HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE WARS OF THE ROSES.

An introduction for A-Level students [Coming Soon]

This lesson provides students with an overview of the way in which historians
views about the wars of the roses have changed over the years. This will help
them to understand the various sources that are presented over their studies

changing views and the debates that have surrounded them.

CONSUMMATE POLITICIAN? ASSESSING WARWICK THE KINGMAKER

Was Warwick the Kingmaker a consummate politician? This A-Level History exercise
assesses his methods and motives c1450 to 1471.

RICHARD III: AN EXTENSIVE OVERVIEW [COMING SOON]

A series of activities covering Richard’s adult life. A presentation provides an

IV, explores the manner in which he became King in 1483, looks into his brief
