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]]. They are generally accepted to have been fought in several spasmodic episodes between [[1450s|1455]] and [[1480s|1487]] ending with the victory of Henry Tudor, a Lancaster. It is a popular historical theory that the War of the Roses began as a dispute between wizarding neighbours over a [[Fanged Geranium]]. <ref>Fifth question of the Third [[Wizards' Ordinary Magic and Basic Aptitude Test|W.O.M.B.A.T.]] at [[J.K.Rowling Official Site|J.K.
