n this book, we’re going to talk about the War of the Roses. So, let’s get right to it!





he War of the Roses happened between the years 1455 and 1487. It wasn’t a constant fight. There were two powerful families fighting in the war and they were related by blood. Their battle was over who would be the next king of England. By the end of the war, one family was in power and the other was destroyed.

ne of the groups was called the House of Lancaster and they used a white rose as their emblem. The other group was called the House of York. This group had a red rose as their emblem. These two families were both descendants from the heirs of Edward III.
