War+of+Roses

The War of Roses By: Janie Heekin The war of roses lasted from 1455-1487, It was between the Yorks and the Lancastrians, just after the 100 years war. Most of the war was fought in England. This war is called the war of roses because the national symbol for each is a rose. The yorks have a white rose and the Lancastrians have a red rose. The war of roses was caused when the duke of the Yorks, Richard III, got in a conflict with Henry IV’s wife about their rights. The Yorks are from the UK and the Lancastrians are from Europe One event that occurred before the war of roses was the 100 years war. The war of roses was fought by England and Normandy, 1337-1453. This battle was fought along the English Channel. Not too long after the end of the war Christopher Columbus discovered the West Indies, 1492. Today we all have equal power and we are a free country. When you go to war you must pay for the items needed for battle. So they must tax higher to earn the money for the items needed. Eventually the town can not pay the taxes and soon lose houses. Richard III, duke of Yorks and Henry IV, king of Europe. **Fun facts: **  ** Citations:   ** Gormey, Larry.
