To summarise my knowledge on this century’s conflicts: I’ve read/watched Anne Boleyn died eight times and John of Gaunt’s legacy five times. And though I know who’s who over the few throne seizures, it’s difficult to understand WHYYYYYY and HOWWW did the Wars of the Roses happen.
There is of course no one single reason to how this red rose white rose war began, but it is simplified here in a chart I drew for myself for my quick reference, which may help you understand some of the historical dramas better.
Simply said - The Wars of the Roses really started between House of York (represented by white rose) and House of Lancaster (represented by red rose), when Richard of York (father of Edward IV) contested Henry VI’s claim to throne.
