![]() In this first episode of our two-part series, we’re joined by Curator of Collections and Interiors Dickon Whitewood to discuss what the Wars of the Roses were, how they started and the early battles that ended with Yorkist triumph. The series of conflicts – which took place between 14 – spanned multiple different reigns, involved numerous foreign kingdoms, and heralded changes in English politics, social order and battlefield technology. The Wars of the Roses were significant because they determined who would rule England as King. The Wars of the Roses, fought between the two powerful houses of York and Lancaster, pitted families against each other. The Wars of the Roses completely transformed English history as a whole, ending the male lineage of the Plantagenet family through both the York and Lancaster lines, as the Tudor family established their dynasty which was to last for over 100 years changing English history forever.
