War of Roses
Quiz introduction
Between 1455 and 1487. England had a brutal series of civil wars known as the the War of Roses. It was between House Lancaster and House York, the rival branches of the Plantagenet family. It all beg
an when King Henry VI of Lancaster proved to be mentally unstable and politically weak, sparking a crisis of leadership. His cousin, Richard, Duke of York, believed he had the stronger claim to the throne — and that England needed a more capable ruler. For over 30 years, power swung violently between the two houses through assassinations, betrayals, battles, and secret marriages. Queens led armies. Princes disappeared. Nobles switched sides — sometimes twice. The war only ended when Henry Tudor, a distant Lancastrian with little claim but big ambition, defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field (1485) and married Elizabeth of York, uniting both houses. This formed the powerful Tudor dynasty that ruled England for over a century. In this quiz, you'll step into the shoes of a 15th-century noble. Your decisions will teach you the real history — and decide whether you’d die in battle, rise to power… or simply survive.
