How many people died at the battle of Princeton in the Revolutionary War?
Since the technology that we have today did not exist then, the numbers count can only be told the the participants themselves. Here are several versions of the casualty count on January 3, 1777:
-British General Sir William Howe official casualty report for the battle stated 18 killed, 58 wounded and 200 missing.
-A civilian eyewitness wrote that 24 British soldiers were found dead on the field.
-Then there is George Washington. He claimed that the British had more 100 killed and 300 captured and lost 6 or 7 officers , 25-30 enlisted men killed, however never gave a number of wounded.
-The Loyalist newspaper, New York Gazette and Weekly Mercury, reported on January 17, 1777, that the American losses at Princeton had been 400 killed and wounded.
-A number of authors of that battle come up with variations of numbers but the numbers were low.
I came upon a couple of more websites that basically the causalities were low on both ends. It apparently seems that the casualties for the British ranged from 25-40 with the same number of Americans. The Americans, however, did lose General Mercer, Colonel Haslett, and a few more high ranking officers.
How did the war of the rose end?
The war of the roses ended with Henry Tudor (Henry VII) defeating the king, Richard III, at the battle of Bosworth field. Henry belonged to the house of Lancaster (symbolized by a red rose) and Richard to the house of York (white rose). Both houses were descendants of Edward III, so they both had claims to the throne. When Henry became king he married Elizabeth of York (Richard's niece) in order to unite the two houses and end the battle between them. Henry merged the rival symbols of the red and white roses into the new emblem of the red and white Tudor rose.
The first thing King Henry VII did when he gained his throne at 1.485 AD/ CE was to establish the strength and supremacy of his rule. He was lucky for the major claimants of the throne were killed in the dynastic wars or executed by his predecessors.

Why was the Tudor rose important to the Tudor's?
The Wars of the Roses was between the Houses of York (White Rose) and Lancaster (Red Rose). This concluded with the victory of Henry Tudor (Lancaster), later to become Henry VII, at Bosworth Field in 1485 over Richard III (York). The Tudor rose is a combination of these two flowers, produced to signify the joining of the two warring factions into the one dynastic House of Tudor.
The joining of the two houses was marked heraldically by the creation of the Tudor Rose which appeared in three forms, all following the 'marshalling of arms' traditionally used in heraldry. The first was to have a half rose on each side of the shield - red to the left (dexter) and white to the right (sinister) - this was termed 'parted per pale'.
The second was to 'quarter' the roses with the red rose in the top left and bottom right quarters (I & IV) and the white in the top right and bottom left quarters (II & III).
The third is the most commonly seen example and the one that to-day is generally referred to as the Tudor Rose. This is a double rose with the white appearing in the middle of the red.
