This civil war-the so-called “War of the Roses”-had its roots in the final loss of the last English holdings in France after the Hundred Years War and the grievances of the nobles against a weak and mentally unstable King Henry VI. Beginning with the Battle of Saint Albans on May 22, 1455, it continued until the famous Battle of Bosworth on August 22, 1485, in which the Lancastrian noble Henry Tudor, the Earl of Richmond, defeated the Yorkish King, Richard III for control of the English Crown.
The English Civil War tore Britain in two for 32 years.
