How did Edward III help cause the War of the Roses?
He simply had too many sons! The families of his sons grew to form the houses of Lancaster and the houses of York. Due to the fact that both families were descended from Edward III, all male descendents of each family had a good claim to throne; many wanted the throne for themselves, which led them to fight against each for it. These fights between houses are known as the Wars of the Roses, but more recently some historians are calling it 'The Cousin's War'.
