THE WARS OF THE ROSES: Bastard Feudalism (Ep1).

The term bastard feudalism has been adopted as a label to distinguish a social structure different from its predecessor in the post‐Conquest period. In this episode of Teach Medieval, Abi is joined by Dr Gordon McKelvie of the University of Winchester to discuss the term and the role that this social structure played in the Wars of the Roses.
