The War of the Roses were a series of bloody dynastic civil wars between supporters of the rival houses of Lancaster and York, for the throne of England. This conflict is named after the symbols of the two families, with Lancaster represented by a red rose, and the symbol of the House of York being a white rose. The war eventually ended with the victory of Henry Tudor in 1485, who united the two houses through marriage and founded the House of Tudor.[1]
History[]
It is a popular historical theory that the War of the Roses began as a dispute between wizarding neighbours over a Fanged Geranium.[2]
