Shelf by nono umasy
The War of the Roses was a complex and tumultuous series of conflicts that engulfed England in the 15th century. It arose from a bitter struggle for the English throne between the rival houses of Lancaster and York, symbolized by their respective red and white roses. Lasting from 1455 to 1487, this dynastic struggle resulted in a profound impact on English history. Key figures like Richard III and Henry VII emerged as central players, with the latter establishing the Tudor dynasty. This period of strife ultimately culminated in the Battle of Bosworth Field, where Henry VII emerged victorious, uniting the warring houses and marking the end of the War of the Roses, paving the way for the Tudor era.
