Twelve - but wikipedia only comes up with nine of their names -

Lady Wilhelmina Stanhope, mother of Lord Rosebery; Lady Caroline Lennox (died 1849); Lady Elizabeth Howard (died 1891); Lady Mary Fitzalan Howard (died 1897); Lady Sarah Villiers (died 1853); Lady Jane Bouverie; Lady Mary Grimston (died 1879); Lady Frances Cowper (died 1880); Lady Elizabeth Sackville West (died 1897)

1. The Wars of The Roses were fought on and off between 1455 and 1485.

2. They were between two rival factions of the royal English house of Plantagenet: The House of Lancaster and the House of York

3. The name of the wars comes from the badges of each house: the Red Rose of Lancaster and the White Rose of York .

4. The wars spelt the end of the royal Plantagenet line, which had ruled England since the 12th century, and the emergence of the Tudor house as the rulers of England.

5. The final battle of the wars in 1485 is perhaps the most well known: The Battle of Bosworth Field, between the respective armies of King Richard III and Henry Tudor.

6. The final "official" months of the wars in 1485 occured during the reign of King Richard III, a usurper to the throne who imprisoned his two young nephews in the Tower of London - one of whom should have been King Edward V but was too young to take the throne - where they mysteriously disappeared, giving rise to the "Princes in the Tower" tale - a mystery that still baffles historians even today.

7. The Wars have remained in modern history thanks to William Shakespeare's various plays on the participants.

8. The consecutive Kings of France and the Dukes of Burgundy were both known to play the warring factions off against each other by pledging military support and aid to each side to prevent England ever uniting and becoming strong again.

9. The Kings of England during the period were Henry VI (Lancastrian), Edward IV (Yorkist), Edward V (Yorkist), Richard III (Yorkist), Henry VII (Tudor, but of Lancastrian ancestory)

10. The Wars finally ended when Henry VII of the House of Lancaster claimed the throne and married Elizabeth of York, the Yorkist Heiress, so beginning the regin of the Tudor House, which lasted until 1601.

Richard III died at the Battle of Bosworth on August 22, 1485.

It is widely believed that in 1483 Richard III had his two nephews, aged 12 and 9, imprisoned in the Tower Of London and then killed so that he would become king. He is therefore often portrayed as a monstrous villain, and as evil personified. Some historians have lately questioned whether this is an accurate portrayal and that perhaps he does not deserve his monstrous reputation.

That was The War Of the Roses, Fought between the supporters of the Houses of York and Lancaster.

Danilo Illic was one of the seven assassins responsible for the death of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, June 1914

Since Shakespeare wasn't born until 1564 and Richard III died in 1485, they didn't actually "know" each other personally. Instead, one of Shakespeare's most well known plays is based on the life of Richard III.

Rags. They were always washed and reused - there were no disposables in Tudor times. Incidentally, pants were never usually worn under the long skirts of those days; the hygienic rags ghad to be held in place by a sort of diaper arrangement.

It is pretty hard to do any sort of verification. The patena of age is one item that can be looked at and the location the item was found at is another. But there really isn't a way to determine if a particular musket ball was made in a specific year. Many people molded their own. Sometimes the mold marks can help with some information.
