Wars of the Roses

That depends on your definition of greed.

After the death of his brother Edward, Richard was made regent and protector of his nephews, Edward and Richard. However, shortly afterward, Richard III had declared that his brother's wedding was invalid and his sons were bastards, taking them out of the line for the throne, and making himself King. That may seem like greed but, in the English court, it was rather par of the course. Richard's older brother George, the middle child of the three, sided with anyone and everyone who he thought might get Edward out and put him on the throne. King Edward's own advisors turned on him the moment he started favoring families other than their own. The one thing that can be said for the Yorks and Lancasters was that they were ALL greedy for the throne.

Richard III was widely disliked by his sister-in-law's family, the Woodvilles. Richard first began his climb to the throne by having them killed, in that case it was a kill or be killed situation. He feared what a boy-king would do to the country which was why his nephews were locked in the tower out of the way, but when he eventually came to the point of declaring himself king it is fair to say that he had been overcome by greed although this was not his initial intention from the start.

The Tudor Rose was a great PR exercise. The houses of York and Lancaster had been fighting for some time and each had their own rose emblem. The Tudor rose neatly combined these two roses into a single rose to show that unity had been achieved.

Elizabeth Plantagenet, daughter of Richard's brother King Edward IV, and later married to Henry VII was his most famous niece. He also had a niece in the daughter of his brother George, Duke of Clarence, called Margaret, later 8th Countess of Salisbury. She was executed in 1841 by Henry VIII.

No, his father Henry VII did.

Yes Henry VI was from the lancastrian house

Elizabeth Woodville promised her oldest daughter, Elizabeth of York to Margaret Beautfort's only child, Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, so that Henry could overthrow King Richard III and become king, uniting York and Lancaster and thereby ending the War of The Roses.

If you are referring to the line 'A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!' then no, there was no real horse, it was a figure of speech. A clever play on words by William Shakespeare.

Richard the III truly only became a villain at the hands of William Shakespeare, who turned him into a hunchbacked warmongering monster. This was most likely due to his desire to impress Queen Elizabeth, a descendent of the Tudor line who's Grandfather took the throne from Richard III at the end of the Wars of the Roses.

In truth, Richard was no worse than either of his brothers, and perhaps a great deal better than his middle brother George. His one noted villainous act may have been the death of his nephews, the lost princes of the Tower of London. However, though contextual evidence suggests he was responsible for their disappearance, no real proof has ever been found. In short, Richard was a York King, and if that makes him a villain, then at least he wasn't alone.

Well, I don't know if this is the answer you are looking for, but Richard III was the Yorkist claimant to the throne and therefore the "White Rose". Henry Tudor was the last tangible Lancastrian claimant, seeing as his mother, Margaret Beaufort, was descended from John of Gaunt, a son of Edward III, also the father of Henry IV, the first Lancastrian. The Beaufort's descended from John of Gaunts third marriage to Katherine Swynford and were barred from the throne. However, on the extinction of the male line of the House of Lancaster with Henry VI's murder, Henry VII was the Lancastrian claimant and therefore the "Red Rose"

Richard III is a very long play and there are an awful lot of words used in it. Here are some to get you started: now, is, the, winter, of, our, discontent, made, glorious, summer, by, this, sun, of, York. Well, that's 15 words. You can carry on with the second line if you wish.

Do you mean why was he responsible for their disappearance?

The lost princes disappeared almost immediately after Richard took the throne and it is unknown whether they were killed before or after he left the tower to go on progress following his Coronation. While many theories abound as to who killed the princes, there is no concrete answer. Their bodies have never been verified and no one, to this day, knows what really happened.

It is, however, likely that, if he did not order them to be killed himself, Richard probably played a part in their disappearance. Having just taken the throne on rather shaky grounds, and having declared his nephews bastards and therefore not in line for the thrown, he would have wanted to solidify his position as much as possible. Though declaring them bastards had justified him taking the thrown for himself, there would have been nothing to stop the people from rallying behind young Prince Edward as he grew older, particularly if they found Richard to be, in any way, an inferior king. Not only would killing his nephews have ensured Richard's claim to the throne, it would have prevented the people from claiming the princes as their figureheads in later rebellions.

Richard the III wa s classed as a tyke as he was born in York. So, in the war of the roses Henry VII defeated richerd III and therefore defeated the tyke. :)

The War of the Roses really only took place during the reigns of Henry VI, Edward IV and Richard III and so is described in Parts 2 and 3 of Henry VI and Richard III. The "choosing of roses" scene is in Henry VI Part I. However, Shakespeare's history has the root of the trouble in the usurpation of the throne by Henry Bolingbroke from Richard II, when Henry was not even Richard's next heir. The taint of illegitimacy stains the reigns of Henry, his son Henry V, and his grandson Henry VI, whose right to rule is challenged by the descendant of the true heir to Richard II, the Duke of York. In this sense the chronicle of the Wars of the Roses can be said to start with Richard II, and flow right through the Henry IV plays, the Henry V play and the Henry VI plays until it is resolved to the great satisfaction of Tudor historians, in Richard III.
