The Wars of the Roses, 1377-1471, were a series of English civil wars fought for |
O |
the control of the throne of England between two rival cadet branches of the |
» |
|
House of Plantagenet, Lancaster and York. The Scottish historian Robert Balmain |
D9 |
|
Mowat (1883-1941) writes that these wars saw "the death of the old England and |
||
the beginning of the new." But they also saw the emergence of great |
||
personalities: the noble Richard of York, Warwick the Kingmaker, King Edward |
||
1 |
IV, indolent and energetic by turns, and his relentless opponent, Margaret of |
1 |
Anjou, a true she-wolf of France. |
