    THE WAR OF ROSES


    -NARENDRAN
    WHAT WERE THE WAR OF ROSES?

    The Wars of the Roses (1455-1487) were a series of


    civil wars fought over the throne of England between
    the House of Lanchester and the House of York. Both
    these Houses were decendent from King Edward the
    Third.
    WHY WERE THEY CALLED SO?

    The name 'Wars of the Roses' has
    its origins in the badges
    associated with the two houses,
    the Red Rose of the House of
    RED ROSE OF THE
    HOUSE OF LANCASTER
    Lancaster and the White Rose of
    the House of York.

    WHITE ROSE OF THE


    HOUSE OF YORK
    THE HOUSE OF LANCASTER

    The feud between the two houses began with the overthrow of
    King Richard by Henry Bolingbroke, Duke of Lancaster, in 1399.
    Henry Bolingbroke was crowned as Henry IV since King Richard
    II's rule was unpopular. But soon revolt broke out in Wales,
    Cheshire and Northumberland. Henry IV suppressed these revolts
    with difficulty. Then in 1413 he died.
    THE HOUSE OF LANCASTER
    (Continued)

    After Henry IV's death his successor Henry V was


    crowned. He led England against France in the
    Hundred Years' War and gained immense popularity
    which gave the Lacastarian more strength to hold on to
    the throne.
    THE HOUSE OF YORK

    During the rule of Henry V, one plot was led against him
    by Richard, Earl of Cambridge. Cambridge failed and was
    executed in 1415 for treson. Richard's son Richard, Duke
    of York inherited York at the age of 4.

    The was the beginner or founder of the House of York and

    believed that the House of York had a stronger claim to the

    throne.
    DEATH OF HENRY V

    Henry V died in 1422 and Henry VI took over the


    throne and the age of nine months. All the territories
    won by Henry V during the Hundred Years' Wars were
    all lost by Henry VI. He faced a lot of problems within
    England.
    THE WARS OF THE ROSES

    Henry the VI met Richard, Duke of York at London on


    May 22nd , 1455. The field was called St. Albans. This
    was the first War of the Roses. It was a disaster for the
    Lacasterian House. The second battle though was
    better. The battle of Blore Heath in Stafford on 23rd
    September 1459 a large Lacasterian army defeated
    York so badly that Edward fled to Ireland.
    OTHER BATTLES

    Other than the first 2 battles the other battles between


    the Houses were pretty insignificant.
    BATTLE OF NORTHAMPTON- 10th JULY 1460
    BATTLE OF WAKEFIELD- 30th DECEMBER 1460
    AND OTHERS
