Power, greed, religion and sex: historian Dan Jones brings the drama of mediaeval history to life through compelling stories, fascinating characters and vivid scenes.

“A Dynasty to Die For” tells the story of the Plantagenets, one of the most powerful and dysfunctional families in European history. Their scandals, betrayals and bloody politics shaped the world we live in today.

In Season 6 we meet King Edward III, the ambitious warrior responsible for starting the Hundred Years’ War. But while Edward is waging his campaigns overseas, a new threat to his kingdom is brewing. The Black Death is coming, and nothing will ever be the same again.
