The War of the Roses was fought between the rival houses of Lancaster and York, both vying for the English throne. The conflict arose from a combination of political power struggles, claims to the crown, and deep-seated grievances stemming from the previous reigns. The Lancasters, symbolized by a red rose, and the Yorks, represented by a white rose, fought for dominance and control over the monarchy, leading to a series of dynastic battles throughout the 15th century. Ultimately, the war ended with the rise of the Tudor dynasty after Henry VII defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.

How did Edward III help cause the War of the Roses?

He simply had too many sons! The families of his sons grew to form the houses of Lancaster and the houses of York. Due to the fact that both families were descended from Edward III, all male descendents of each family had a good claim to throne; many wanted the throne for themselves, which led them to fight against each for it. These fights between houses are known as the Wars of the Roses, but more recently some historians are calling it 'The Cousin's War'.
