The Wars of the Roses. Red for the House of Lancaster and White for the House of York
Elizabeth Woodville promised her oldest daughter, Elizabeth of York to Margaret Beautfort's only child, Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, so that Henry could overthrow King Richard III and become king, uniting York and Lancaster and thereby ending the War of The Roses.
Richard the III wa s classed as a tyke as he was born in York. So, in the war of the roses Henry VII defeated richerd III and therefore defeated the tyke. :)
The War of the Roses. Or sometimes the Wars of the Roses.
The War of the Roses really only took place during the reigns of Henry VI, Edward IV and Richard III and so is described in Parts 2 and 3 of Henry VI and Richard III. The "choosing of roses" scene is in Henry VI Part I. However, Shakespeare's history has the root of the trouble in the usurpation of the throne by Henry Bolingbroke from Richard II, when Henry was not even Richard's next heir. The taint of illegitimacy stains the reigns of Henry, his son Henry V, and his grandson Henry VI, whose right to rule is challenged by the descendant of the true heir to Richard II, the Duke of York. In this sense the chronicle of the Wars of the Roses can be said to start with Richard II, and flow right through the Henry IV plays, the Henry V play and the Henry VI plays until it is resolved to the great satisfaction of Tudor historians, in Richard III.
The Wars of the Roses. Red for the House of Lancaster and White for the House of York
the war of the roses was a hundred year war between the house of york and the house of Lancaster, only on the 22nd of august 1485 was it resolved in the battle of Bosworth when Henry Tudor won and Richard III died.

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.
