The Wars of the Roses were a series of battles between the houses of Lancaster (the red rose) and York (the white rose) in the fifteenth century. The battles were ultimately about which family had more right, or more might, to wear the crown of England.

The purpose of this site is to provide as much information as possible about these wars in particular and the fifteenth century in general. To this end you can find on this site information about the people involved in the wars, descriptions of the battles and an outline of the history of the wars. You will also find other general information on the century, including music and a timeline of events of the fifteenth century.

This site is continually being added to and re-written and will eventually hold a lot more information than it does as present.

I hope you enjoy looking through my site!
