The Lion & The Rose Podcast Present:
Warwick The King Maker
In this gripping episode, we dive deep into the dramatic life of Richard Neville, the Earl of Warwick, better known as "The Kingmaker." From his meteoric rise as one of the most influential men in 15th-century England to his ultimate betrayal and downfall, Warwick’s story is one of power, ambition, and political intrigue.
Discover how this master manipulator helped shape the Wars of the Roses, toppling kings and making new ones, as we explore his key role in putting Edward IV on the throne and his shocking alliance with his former enemy, Margaret of Anjou. We’ll unravel his bitter feud with the Woodville family, the high-stakes political chess game that led to his demise, and the personal rivalries that ignited one of England’s bloodiest civil wars.
With fascinating details about Warwick’s alliances, betrayals, and the dramatic Battle of Barnet, this episode brings history to life in a way you’ve never heard before. Whether you’re a fan of medieval politics or just love a good story of power, rebellion, and tragedy, you won’t want to miss this deep dive into the life of the man who made and unmade kings.
Join us as we uncover the dramatic story of Warwick the Kingmaker—the man who ruled the throne from behind the curtain, until the curtain fell on him.
