Richard De Beauchamp, the 12th Earl of Warwick, was known as formidable jouster and Warwick Castle's stables were home to some of his most prized jousting horses.

Liam Bartlett, senior operations director of Warwick Castle, said: "This is the sixth year that the Wars of the Roses LIVE! has been held at the castle and the way it brings this period of history to life in thrilling fashion has been extremely popular with guests of all ages.

"The excitement of seeing live jousting and daring stunts has become closely associated with Warwick Castle in the minds of our visitors and so we felt it was right to bring it back earlier than ever.

"With 100 days of Wars of the Roses LIVE! there will be more opportunities than ever for guests to experience this exhilarating spectacle."
