The first battle erupted in 1455, but the roots of the conflict reached back to the dawn of the fifteenth century, when the corrupt, hedonistic Richard II was sadistically murdered, and Henry IV, the first Lancastrian king, seized England’s throne. In The Wars of the Roses, Alison Weir reconstructs this conflict with the same dramatic flair and impeccable research that she brought to her highly praised The Princes in the Tower. The war between the royal House of Lancaster and York, the longest and most complex in British history, profoundly altered the course of the monarchy. Old noble names were ruined while rising dynasties seized power and lands. For much of the fifteenth century, these two families were locked in battle for control of the British monarchy.

Reloading and firing it takes 8 people about 30 minutes. This trebuchet has a counterweight and two treadwheels (occupied by four people in total) to pull back the counterweight, and is loaded with a burning projectile. A narrator explains historical circumstances, military tactics and technical specifications.
