Description
The Later Middle Ages in England 1216–1485 was a period of significant upheaval, marked by the Hundred Years' War, the Black Death, and social and political struggles like the Wars of the Roses. Major events include the Magna Carta being challenged, the rise of Parliament, and a devastating Great Famine and plague that dramatically reduced the population, eventually leading to the end of the Plantagenet dynasty and the accession of the Tudors in 1485.
