Historically kind of accurate. The main characters here are the women who were in medieval history only minor players. The facts needed to be adjusted in order to give them more importance than they actually had. Nonetheless the show is quite enjoyable and the War of the Roses is by definition the original Game of Thrones. Family relations, court gossip and intrigue are the main focus of the show. I recommend it to all history fans. Women might enjoy it more, but men should like it too.

Outstanding in every way, especially the actresses - I have not read the book it came from but can see why it won prizes. Some of the machiavellian politics is so intricate you may need to rewatch - breath taking when you get it. Goes along with the new theory that King Richard did not kill the two princes in the tower and gives a realistic portrayal of who did and why - and 1 escaped! The twist of the curse returning to the cursor fabulous - the supernatural plays a real but side role.
