In the 15th century, the Wars of the Roses were not referred to by that name; the term was coined later in the 19th century. During the conflict, it was simply known as a series of civil wars for the English throne, primarily between the rival houses of Lancaster and York. The wars were characterized by political instability, power struggles, and shifting alliances as both factions vied for control of the monarchy.
