Were the Wars of the Roses really between Yorkshire and Lancashire- and what does it have to do with flowers?
The Dukes of York and Lancaster, battled for the throne of England for over thirty years, but it was the rivalry and escalation of local feuding between the northern families of Neville and Percy that led to the outbreak of war.
The Wars of the Roses was a bloody civil war, and resulted in the decimation of many Northern noble families. This talk examines the impact of war on Yorkshire families, whether Edward IV and Richard III just pawns in a Neville web of power , and whether Richard III was our last great Northern Lord.
