The Wars of the Roses were long finished by Shakespeare's time. Shakespeare only paints the Yorkist Kings, such as Richard III as evil because Elizabeth I was Queen at this time, and since her grandfather, Henry VII, was a Lancastrian, he would not have wanted to anger her. From Henry VII onwards, the royal family was no longer known as Lancastrian or Yorkist, they were Tudor, symbolised in the Tudor rose, which was a mix of the Lancaster red rose and Yorkist white, and Henry VII married the Yorkist Elizabeth of York.
