Medieval Monarchy Unraveling w/ Taylor Kniphfer - JFT Ep16

Taylor Kniphfer joins me today to discuss Wars of the Roses and how this period of warfare (also somewhat experienced separately throughout Europe) caused the medieval polity and monarchy to unravel. Stable systems (and secure monarchs) of monarchy were replaced by insecure monarchs and an unstable ruling class. It was a pivotal period, ending the medieval age and beginning a new one. A fascinating perspective from Taylor who is working on his PhD in the governance of the Dutchy of Lancaster during the wars.
