"The War of the Roses: A Bloody Struggle for Power and Control" In 15th century England, the Union of the Roses marked a pivotal moment in history. The warring families of Lancaster and York clashed fiercely, each vying for supremacy over the other. This plate engraving from 1589 depicts their emblematic roses intertwined, symbolizing a nation divided. Queen Margaret of Anjou, wife to Henry VI, played a significant role in this tumultuous period. In this vivid illustration from 1792, she is shown placing a paper crown on the head of the Duke of York during one of their intense power struggles - an act that would have far-reaching consequences. The Battle of Towton on March 29th, 1461 was one such consequence. This dramatic scene captured around c1920 portrays the chaos and brutality that unfolded on that fateful day. The foggy field near Barnet depicted by John Leech adds an eerie atmosphere to this haunting image. Warwick the Kingmaker emerges as another key figure in this conflict. As a nobleman and soldier in 15th century England, his actions shaped the course of history. This striking portrayal from 1893 showcases Warwick's commanding presence and influence during these turbulent times. To understand the scope and geography of these wars, we turn to a map dating back to the same era - late 19th century - which highlights various battlegrounds where countless lives were lost or forever changed. King Henry VI himself became entangled in this web of power struggles. Illustrated here through Player's Cigarette Cards' vibrant litho print from yesteryears; it offers us insight into his reign amidst political turmoil. Richard III also left an indelible mark on English history as king but remains controversial due to Shakespearean portrayals casting him as villainous hunchbacked monarch.
