The name <B>Wars of the Roses</B> is based on the badges used by the two sides, the red rose for the Lancastrians and the <B>white rose for the Yorkists</B>. Major causes of the conflict include: </div> <div> 1) both houses were direct descendents of king Edward III; </div> <div> 2) the ruling Lancastrian king, Henry VI, surrounded himself with unpopular nobles; </div> <div> 3) the civil unrest of much of the population; </div> <div> 4) the availability of many powerful lords with their own private armies; and </div> <div> 5) the untimely episodes of mental illness by king Henry VI. </div> <div> Please see the origins page for more information on the start of the wars. </div> <div> This site presents a clear and easy-to-follow survey of the Wars of the Roses including major players and important battles.
