“Wars of the Roses, The Far too hard to explain. There are just two things to remember. Firstly, it was the basis for Games Of Throne, except that the man who wrote that, Sir George RRRRRR Martin, changed the names so he wouldn’t get sued, and made it more realistic by filling it with dragons and dwarves and loads of tits. Lastly, the most violent event of the Wars of the Roses was the Battle of Bosworth, which Richard III tried to escape by burrowing under a car park. He hid there for centuries, but eventually we found him. Alas, it was too late, and he’d died of tarmac inhalation.”
