The War of the Roses was a complex and bloody struggle fought between 1455 and 1487 for the English throne between two rival branches of the House of Plantagenet: the House of Lancaster, represented by the red rose, and the House of York, symbolized by the white rose. The War of the Roses would ultimately reshape the English monarchy and change England's history forever.
