Red And White Roses
The White Rose of the House of York
The name “Wars of the Roses” refers to the badges associated with the two royal houses, the White Rose of York and the Red Rose of Lancaster. It is not thought to have been used during the time of the wars. Rather, it came into common use in the nineteenth century after the publication of Anne of Geierstein by Sir Walter Scott. Scott based the name on a fictional scene in William Shakespeare’s play Henry VI Part 1, where the opposing sides pick their different-coloured roses at the Temple Church. Although the roses were occasionally used as symbols during the wars, most of the participants wore livery badges associated with their immediate lords or patrons under the prevailing system of so-called “bastard feudalism”. For example, Henry’s forces at Bosworth fought under the banner of a red dragon, while the Yorkist army used Richard III’s personal device of a white boar. However, after the wars ended, and his Yorkist marriage, King Henry VII adopted the badge of the single red and white Tudor Rose to symbolize the reunion of the houses of York and Lancaster.
Although armed clashes had occurred previously between supporters of York and Lancaster, the first open fighting broke out in 1455 at the First Battle of St Albans. Several prominent Lancastrians died, but their heirs continued a deadly feud with Richard. Although peace was temporarily restored, the Lancastrians were inspired by Margaret of Anjou to contest York’s influence. Fighting resumed more violently in 1459. York was forced to flee the country, but one of his most prominent supporters, the Earl of Warwick, invaded England from Calais and captured Henry at the Battle of Northampton. York returned to the country and became Protector of England, but was dissuaded from claiming the throne. Margaret and the irreconcilable Lancastrian nobles gathered their forces in the north of England, and when York moved north to suppress them, he and his second son Edmund were killed at the Battle of Wakefield in December 1460. The Lancastrian army advanced south and recaptured Henry at the Second Battle of St Albans, but failed to occupy London, and subsequently retreated to the north. York’s eldest son, Edward, Earl of March, was proclaimed King Edward IV. He gathered the Yorkist armies and won a crushing victory at the Battle of Towton in March 1461.
After minor Lancastrian revolts were suppressed in 1464 and Henry was captured once again, Edward fell out with his chief supporter and advisor, the Earl of Warwick (known as the “Kingmaker”), and also alienated many friends and even family members by favouring the upstart family of his queen, Elizabeth Woodville, whom he had married in secret. Warwick tried first to supplant Edward with his younger brother George, Duke of Clarence, and then to restore Henry VI to the throne. This resulted in two years of rapid changes of fortune, before Edward IV once again won complete victories at Barnet (April 1471), where Warwick was killed, and Tewkesbery (May 1471) where the Lancastrian heir, Edward, Prince of Wales, was executed after the battle, and Henry himself murdered in the Tower of London several days later.
Though the names of the rival houses derive from the cities of York and Lancaster, the corresponding duchies had little to do with these cities. The lands and offices attached to the Duchy of Lancaster were mainly in Gloucestershire, North Wales and Cheshire, while the estates and castles which were part of the Duchy of York (and the Earldom of March, which Richard of York also inherited) were widespread throughout England, although there were many in the Welsh Marches.
Lancaster, York and Richmond (Tudor) are all represented by their own rose and all three are named for districts in the North of England, not a traditional power base for the English monarchy, which had hitherto usually been drawn from dynasties originating further south, in Normandy and Anjou, Mercia and Wessex. The Tudor fief of Richmondshire lay squarely between the duchies of Lancaster and York and on the forefront of the Anglo-Scottish border country.
