Meet a pair of citizens, it's 1459. England is beset by disputes as the nobility of England pitch their armies of retainers against each other to
gain advantage, land, power and wealth. King Henry the Sixth and his Queen, Margaret are frequent visitors to the City of
Coventry, a safe haven in the heart of Lancastrian lands. But danger is never far away. Parliaments and councils sit to try to
keep a fragile peace, Coventry is at the centre of these proceedings, but what do the local people think of all this? Join our
medieval locals as they talk about the issues of the day and what it's like to pay host to royal visitors, their courtiers, servants, oh.......................and their army!
