In 1455, England’s most powerful nobleman met a fate he’d been warned about. Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, rumored lover of Queen Margaret of Anjou and the man blamed for losing France, was told by a soothsayer to beware of castles. At St Albans, he died outside the Castle Inn, and the first battle of the Wars of the Roses began. This episode uncovers the scandal, ambition, and whispered affair that turned rumor into rebellion and set England on the path to civil war.
