What TWO houses were confronted during the Wars of the Roses?

Correct Answers: The House of York; The House of Lancaster

The Wars of the Roses (1455–1487) were a series of civil wars fought for control of the English throne between two branches of the Royal House of Plantagenet: the House of Lancaster (whose symbol was a red rose) and the House of York (whose symbol was a white rose).

The conflict ended with the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, when Henry Tudor (Lancaster) defeated Richard III (York) and founded the Tudor dynasty.
