Wars of the Roses

They did support the British in both world wars, providing goods and soldiers to the British. Although "support" may be putting it a bit strongly: India was a colony governed by the British during both wars, and their soldiers were simply transferred to the various theatres of war by the British.

It has a curvature of the spine.

The House of Lancashire. The House of York's symbol was a white rose.

They were too different families that were on line to the throne to England that fought in the Wars of the Roses.

Some people like Chandi Prasad Bhatt and Gaura Devi started it to prevent officials from felling the trees near a village called Mandal to sell forestland to a sports goods industry.

They were called dogfights.

Richard Dawkins is still very much alive.

Shakespeare has Henry VII find Richard III's crown in a bush. Despite the Romanticism of this event, it never happened and is purely a piece of fiction.

Richard persuades Anne by forcing a false choice on her. "Love me or kill me!" he says. She cannot bring herself to kill him, and so it is assumed that she must love him. This is of course malarkey but the power of Richard's personality forces her to accept this ridiculous conclusion: "If I really hated him, I would be able to kill him, but I can't. So maybe I do love him after all."

Richard is not able to persuade Elizabeth to accept what he wants. He wants to marry her daughter. She says, "Yeah. yeah, ok" until she is out of his reach and then immediately sends her daughter off to marry Richmond instead.

The printing press allowed common people access to written religious documents, such as the bible.

Given the opportunity to read those documents for themselves, people formed their own opinions, and didn't always agree with the dogma that was being preached from the pulpit.

Access to books also gave people opportunities for education, and with education came enlightenment. Educated people tend to question everything, among the subjects questioned were religion.

As today, there were different currencies in different countries. You need to say where you mean before this question can be answered

fought in England in 1455-1487 between houses of the lancaster and the house of the york

Richard III - for the throne of England. He won.

Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine had many rich possessions, but also a couple of sons. In that period these were usually divided between sons (and not all inherited by the oldest).

Richard had been raised in the Aquitaine, was culturally Southern French and his mother intended him to become ruler of it. When Henry tried to take it from him, he was not pleased (to put it mildly).

The Ems Dispatch was in 1870 and angered teh French into declaring the Franco-Prussian War.

The battle of St. Albans.

Earl Rivers was the father of Elizabeth Woodville ("The White Queen"), the wife of King Edward IV of England. Lord Richard Grey was her son from her first marriage. Both were executed as a result of the Wars of the Roses.

Dickon. Richard III's nickname was Dickon. It is thought that this message that was given to one of his supporters the night before Bosworth Field, warning them that the King would be double-crossed (betrayed), which he was... "Jack of Norfolk, be not too bold, For Dickon, thy master, is bought and sold."

The Battle of Bosworth (originally called "Redemore") was fought on 22nd August 1485 between the forces of King Richard III and those of Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, a Lancastrian claimant to the throne who had also attracted support from the rival Yorkist faction by his pledge to marry Elizabeth of York, daughter of Richard's elder brother Edward IV. In addition to their respective forces, there were three smaller armies not reliably committed to either side, commanded respectively by Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, Thomas, Lord Stanley, and the latter's brother Sir William Stanley. The Stanley's were handicapped by the presence of Thomas' son, Lord Strang, as a hostage in Richard's camp. Under questioning, he made a confession implicating his uncle (but not his father) in a plot against Richard. The latter proclaimed Sir William Stanley a traitor. It appears that he also orderd Strang's execution, but either changed his mind or was disobeyed. Strang survived. The battle opened with an encounter between the two vanguards, under Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk (Richard) and John De Vere, Earl of Oxford (Henry). Though outnumbered, Oxford's men performed better than expected, and Norfolk was killed. However, it still seemed that Richard's superior numbers must prevail, and Henry took the risk of riding across to Sir William Stanley's forces, hoping to persuade them to intervene on his side. Richard saw this as an opportunity to "decapitate" the other side, and led his household troops in a charge aimed at intercepting Henry before the latter could reach Sir William. He fought his way into Henry's force, killing the latter's standard bearer, and may have exchanged blows with Henry Tudor himself. However, at this point Sir William finally moved, striking at Richard with a much superior force. Richard went down fighting, and either Sir William or his brother placed the crown on Henry Tudor's head, as King Henry VII. Northumberland had remained inactive throughout, but was nonetheless arrested by Henry and held in the Tower of London for a short time. Lord Stanley took no part in the battle proper, but apparently joined in pursuing of the remnant of Richard's army. With Richard dead, however, most of this soon surrendered. Bosworth's exact location is a matter of some dispute, but was somewhere a few miles west of Leicester. It is generally regarded as having ended the series of civil wars later called "The Wars of the Roses", though despite Henry's marriage one final Yorkist rising had to be defeated at the battle of East Stoke in 1487.

Not much except the Battle of Bosworth in a field in Bosworth for the right to rule England. They built a multi-million pound Bosworth Centre only to find out a few years later that the battle in fact took place a few miles down the road. This has in no way deterred them from still giving guided tours lying quite frankly about where it took place.

That terrorists CANNOT be fought with conventional military personnel. They must be dealt with as the USN SEALS killed those three Somalian Hi-jackers earlier in 2009 while on the high seas. ONE SHOT; ONE KILL.
