When was the war of the roses between the two houses?
Different historians disagree as the exact date to the end of the Wars of the Roses. The common view among most is that, it ended with the battle of Bosworth Field on 22nd August 1485 when Henry Tudor (King Henry VII) defeated King Richard III who died in the battle. However, the Battle of Stoke (1487) can be argued to be a continuation of the wars of the roses due to the fact that it was organised by the Earl of Lincoln, John de la Pole, a Yorkist claiment to the English throne. Further problems also arrive because of Perkin Warbeck (a pretender to the English Throne c. 1490-99) and the remaining de la Pole lineage. Therefore some have argued that it was not 1485 that the Wars of the Roses finished, but possibly as late as 1525 with the death of Richard de la Pole.

How many people did king Henry the VIII behead?
There is no known definitive answer to this question; however, some historians estimate he ordered about 120 executions per month, most, but not all, beheading Using these figures the total number of deaths would exceed 54,000 over the course of his 38-year reign. Other estimates have been as high as 72,000. While possible, neither number can be confirmed.
In addition to executing criminals and enemies of the state, Henry VIII ordered two of his wives, Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard, to be beheaded, and is also rumored to have caused the death of many members of his own family and his personal servants.
It should be noted that the King was responsible for "judicial murders," which are executions carried out by order of the court or a sovereign head, not by Henry VIII himself.
I have talked to a specialised person in this sort of subject and has said 'he has killed an estimated number of about 165 people a month which through his 38- year reign comes to a total of about 55,000 but there has been an estimate of about 72,500 executions' Though two of these people beheaded were his wives Anne Boleyn and Cathrine Howard
