Best Answer

The war of the roses was about two houses(families) fighting against each other for the throne. The houses are Lancaster (Henry Tudor) and York (Richard III). There was a lot of battles but the last one was the battle of Bosworth. Where Henry Tudor won and Richard III died. This is the begining of the Tudor period. It is called the war of the roses. because the both houses had a rose as their house crest. The house of Lancaster had a red rose and the house of York had a white one. When Henry Tudor won the people of York were angry so Henry decided to marry a princess in the house of York and the two roses joined to make the Tudor Rose.
