Here is the brief answer. Henry VII of York and Richard of Lancaster both wanted the throne of England. They had been in dispute for sometime but they couldn't decide who was the rightful heir to the throne. In the end they believed the only way to settle it was through war. Henry VII won.
It was called the "War of the Roses" because the simple for both the house of York and the house of Lancaster was a rose.
Hope this helps!

∙ 6y agoThe War of the Roses was an English conflict between two royal houses of Britain: the Lancastrians and the Yorkists. The cause of the War of the Roses was a long-term disagreement on which family should hold the crown. Because the Yorkists were descended from the second son of Edward III, they had a better claim to the throne. (The eldest son of Edward III, the Back Prince had a son Richard II, who's crown was taken by Henry IV, a Lancastrian. Richard II died childless.)
