1455 Choose Depending Favour Lancaster Nobles Opposing Roses Wars
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to the tumultuous events of 15th century Britain, specifically during the Wars of the Roses. The image showcases two grand houses - one adorned with white roses symbolizing allegiance to the House of York, and the other with red roses representing loyalty to the House of Lancaster.
In this historical period, nobles were faced with a crucial decision: which house to support in their quest for power and control over England. Depending on their chosen side, they would proudly display either white or red roses as a symbol of their allegiance.
The rivalry between these opposing factions led to years of conflict and bloodshed as each house vied for supremacy. The choice between York and Lancaster was not just a matter of preference; it was a decision that could have far-reaching consequences for both individuals and the country as a whole.
Through this evocative image, we are reminded of the complex history and political intrigue that defined this turbulent era in British history. It serves as a poignant reminder of how seemingly simple choices can have profound implications on future events.
