The Battle of Stoke Field, a 1487 skirmish, is usually considered to be the last War of the Roses battle. It was a scheme by Yorkist loyalists to regain the crown lost as a result of the Battle of Bosworth Field.

The Battle of Stoke Field may be considered as the last Battle of the Wars of the Roses. fought 16th June 1487. This involved the House of York against the House of Lancaster and the House of Lancaster won a decisive victory. It is worth recording that the Battle of Bosworth two years earlier has also been considered the final battle. The loss of life at the Battle of Stoke Field was very costly indeed with some 20,000 dead

Which battle did the monarch win that brought about the end of the war of the roses?

Many people believe that the Wars of the Roses ended with the Battle of Bosworth, won by Henry VII against Richard III in 1485, although this is not true, as the Lambert Simnel rebellion caused Henry VII to fight one more battle, the Battle of Stoke on June 4th 1487. Although this was the last battle in the Wars of the Roses, Henry VII still faced many threats from Yorkist claimants who still wanted the throne, which means that many historian believe the Wars of the Roses did not truly end until the acession of Henry's son, Henry VIII.


When was the war of the roses between the two houses?

Different historians disagree as the exact date to the end of the Wars of the Roses. The common view among most is that, it ended with the battle of Bosworth Field on 22nd August 1485 when Henry Tudor (King Henry VII) defeated King Richard III who died in the battle. However, the Battle of Stoke (1487) can be argued to be a continuation of the wars of the roses due to the fact that it was organised by the Earl of Lincoln, John de la Pole, a Yorkist claiment to the English throne. Further problems also arrive because of Perkin Warbeck (a pretender to the English Throne c. 1490-99) and the remaining de la Pole lineage. Therefore some have argued that it was not 1485 that the Wars of the Roses finished, but possibly as late as 1525 with the death of Richard de la Pole.
