War of the Roses. n. pl. Wars of the Roses. A series of intermittent civil wars in the 1400s between the English royal houses of York and Lancaster and their supporters, ending in victory for the Lancastrians in 1485. Often used in the plural.
The term to refers to a civil war or series of conflicts in England that lasted from 1455-1487. These thirty years of warfare were even more destructive to England than the Hundred Years War had been in the previous century. Most of the fighting in the Hundred Years War took place in France, which meant most of the military damage affected the French peasantry rather than the English. In the Wars of the Roses, most of the fighting occurred in England, and thus the loss of life and property was much greater for English citizens. It was a struggle to claim the throne between the families descended from Edward III and the families descended from Henry IV.
