The War of Roses

Let's start at the beginning of our timeline;

The War of Roses
Famous last words!
This war is not called war of roses because it took place in a garden. It is called war of roses because the House of Lancaster and the House of York both had a rose as a symbol

Red rose of  Lancaster      White rose of York

In battle Henry Tudor defeated Richard III and became King of England 
starting the HOUSE OF TUDORS

Years later , Shakespeare wrote a story about the evil King Richard III 
Was King Richard an evil king?
