The eighth season of the based-on-history series
Spanning from 1448 to 1457, Season 8 shows the leadup and beginning of the Wars of the Roses. Richard de Mortimer, Duke of York, plots out his revolt, having control of Ireland and forming an alliance with Duke Philip of Burgundy. Drawing on unrest in Wales that has persisted since the rebellion against Henry IV that occured there more than thirty years ago, Richard de Mortimer gathers a powerful alliance to take on Henry VI and the House of Lancaster. Luckily for Henry VI, negotiations with the monarchy of France are successful and they form an alliance to defend against the Yorkist forces. As England is trust into civil war, France too finds itself in another civil war as they fight against the Duchy Burgundy once again. When Richard de Mortimer, Duke of York, and his leading general, Richard "Warwick" Neville, Duke of Warwick, launch their revolt and murder Henry VI's chief negotiator, Edmund Beaufort, the Wars of the Roses begin and many die within the first couple years of the bloody conflict, including Edmund Beaufort's son from an affair with Catherine of Valois (Former Queen Regent of England and mother of Henry VI), Edmund 'Tudor'.
