The main conflict during the War of the Roses in England was the struggle for the English throne between the Houses of Lancaster and York, both branches of the Plantagenet royal family. This series of dynastic battles spanned from 1455 to 1487, characterized by a complex interplay of political alliances, familial betrayals, and power struggles. Major battles, such as those at Towton, Barnet, and Tewkesbury, resulted in numerous casualties and shifts in power. The conflict ultimately ended with the rise of the Tudor dynasty in 1485 when Henry VII of Lancaster defeated Richard III of York at the Battle of Bosworth Field, stabilizing England for years to come.
