Why did the war of the roses happen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The War of the Roses happened due to a power struggle between two branches of the English royal family, the House of Lancaster and the House of York, for control of the English throne. It was primarily a conflict between two rival factions and their allies, rather than a war fought for a specific cause or ideology. Ultimately, it ended with the establishment of the Tudor dynasty under Henry VII.

What happens to the roses at the end of the rose parade?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

At the end of the Rose Parade, the roses used in the floats and displays are typically left to wither and be discarded. Due to the perishable nature of flowers, they are not able to be preserved or reused after the event. However, the discarded roses are sometimes collected and recycled into mulch or compost. Additionally, some organizations may collect the flowers and distribute them to hospitals, nursing homes, or other locations to bring joy to people who could benefit from the beauty of the flowers.

Experience the magic of the annual Tournament of Roses Parade like never before with A la Carte Tours! Watching the parade on television can never compare to the thrill of being there in person, and we are here to make that dream a reality for you.

Who fought in Battle of Five Armies and what was the outcome?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Battle of the Five Armies started as a face off between the armies of the Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield and Dain of the Iron Hills, the Men of Long Lake, led by Bard, and the Wood Elves, led by their King. They all had some claim to the treasure in the Halls of the King under the Mountain, recently freed from the possession of the dragon Smaug, whom Bard had slain, with Bilbo's help.

As they were about to fight, due to Thorin's enormous love of the treasure, and complete unwillingness to consider any other claim, an enormous army of Goblins showed up. To some degree, their attack had been kicked off by the slaying of the Great Goblin by Gandalf, plus their desire for the treasure. Once the Goblins showed up, the Elves, Dwarves, and Men joined together to fight the common foe. After that battle had been engaged for some time, and was not going well for the forces of good, an army of eagles showed up and tipped the scales against the Goblins.

So I guess that in the end, the desire of the Dwarves to gain back their lost home in Lonely Mountain, and win back the treasure of their fathers was the primary cause of this battle.

The Tudor rose is a combination of the white rose of the House of York and the red rose of the House of Lancaster. It features a small white flower with five petals and a yellow center, surrounded by five larger red petals with green leaves at the open points of the red petals.
