In 1483, a generation of British lord Edward IV passed away, passing the throne to his 12-year-old son Edward V, and appointed his younger brother Richard as the regent. In June of the same year, Parliament declared the marriage of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville invalid. Edward V had no inheritance rights and Richard III succeeded to the throne. Edward V and his brother Richard lived in the Tower of London (there was still the royal residence at the time). In August, Edward V and his brother Richard disappeared. Richard III was accused of murdering the two princes, although there is no actual evidence.

Edward IV's two sons, the eldest son Edward, Prince of Wales, and the second son Richard, Duke of York. From then on, the second son of the King of England was named Duke of York, which became a common practice. Andrew, the second son of the Queen of England, is the Duke of York.

After Richard III reigned for just two years, the war broke out again. Like Edward IV, he also used cruel and terrifying methods to execute untamed nobles and confiscated their territories. What he did caused extreme dissatisfaction among the great nobles. Those enemies of Richard III turned to his opponent, Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond in exile in England.

The work of Edward IV's homecoming regiment was a bit flawed, and there was one person left in the Lancaster family that was not killed. Henry V, the hero of the year, married French princess Catlin. Catelyn gave birth to Henry VI of Henry V. After Henry V died, Catlin remarried Owen Tudor and gave birth to a son, Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond, who was also the half-brother of the great Henry VI. Edmond's son Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, went into exile in France, and he claimed to be the heir of the Lancaster family business.

The more important reason why Henry Tudor became the new core of the Lancaster family was that his mother was the great-granddaughter of the founder of the Lancaster family, "John of Gunter". Now, Henry Tudor He is the only male heir to the Lancaster family, so naturally, he becomes the new core of the Lancaster family.

Think of that year, in May 1471, the Lancaster dynasty was finally wiped out by the York dynasty. Henry Tudor, who was only fourteen years old, was the only remaining male heir to the Lancaster family. He was protected by his uncle and crossed the sea to escape to Breton on the mainland.

Fourteen years later, in 1485, Henry Tudor, who was twenty-eight years old, took advantage of the unpopularity of Richard III of the York Dynasty and took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the British aristocracy with Richard III, so he challenged Richard III in 1485. On August 1, Henry Tudor led 2,000 French soldiers to leave the Seine Estuary with the funding of King Charles VIII. Six days later, they landed in Wales.

Henry Tudor marched eastward and sent people to contact the great aristocrats who were still in the Richard III camp. Because he published a message at the end of the previous year, supporters from all over the UK took action, and the team surged to 5,000. Richard III realized that the situation was serious, and a tens of thousands of soldiers faced off. On August 22, the two sides fought a decisive battle at Bosworth in central England. At a critical juncture, the generals of Richard III, Lord Stanley and Northumberland The Earl stood still, Lord Stanley’s younger brother Sir William Stanley led 3,000 people to openly defied. The York Army collapsed, and Richard III wore a crown to wage a final battle with the enemy until his death. His crown fell into the bushes during the battle and was found by Lord Stanley and dedicated to Henry Tudor. York died as King II. Henry Tudor, who was born in the Lancaster family, finally ended the War of the Roses.

After winning, Henry raised the butcher knife to the York family, and the top figures of the York family fell under Henry's butcher knife. Henry became King of England for Henry VII (reigned 1485-1509), who created the Tudor dynasty in British history.

In order to alleviate the conflict and strengthen his legitimacy as the King of England, Henry VII married Edward IV's daughter Elizabeth as the queen, and the two families were combined into one. They were originally descendants of Edward III, and they reunited here at Henry VII. The rule of the Tudor dynasty that began in England.
