The House of Lancaster was a royal house in England that emerged in the 14th century, descended from John of Gaunt, the third son of King Edward III. It was a branch of the Plantagenet family and played a significant role during the Wars of the Roses, a series of civil wars for control of the English throne. The house's emblem was a red rose, and it was in direct conflict with the rival House of York. The Lancastrian line saw notable kings, including Henry IV, Henry V, and Henry VI, before its decline after the rise of the Tudor dynasty.
