Event Information

We have all heard of the War of the Roses and that they ended with Henry VII and the Tudors coming to rule England and Wales; but what caused them and what happened during them? This talk will explain all.
It was a series of civil wars fought over control of the English throne from 1455 to 1487. The wars were fought between supporters of the House of Lancaster and House of York, two rival cadet branches of the royal House of Plantagenet.
Steve Bird started as an army officer, Steve worked in Industrial Relations with Ford throughout the 70’s and 80s. Subsequent to Ford, Steve worked for a number of companies including Glaxo, Natwest and Trinity Mirror (where he fired Piers Morgan).
Steve ended his career with Maersk where, based in the Hague, he was responsible for HR in 60 ports around the world. Today Steve pursues his first love which is the research and study of military history on which he gives a number of talks.
