Richard's childless older brother Edward was killed at the Battle of Agincourt later the same year. Both houses asserted rights to the throne due to their descent from King Edward III, and the resulting sporadic Wars of the Roses lasted more than 30 years. The wars are named in reference to the symbols of the rival houses, the White Rose of the Yorkists and the red rose of the Lancastrians. The first battle at St. Albans resulted in a Yorkist victory and actually shocked both sides. Efforts to restore order resulted in four years of uneasy peace; however, the seesaw conflict resumed in 1459, and both sides claimed victories on the battlefield. He left his two young sons—including Edward V—in the care of his brother Richard.

Decline and the loss of Anjou

He was unfit to rule and England saw a collapse of law and order during his reign. Additionally, there were many military disasters during his reign. The royal house held the English throne from 1154 to 1485.

Died two days after receiving the news he was to be released. Originator of the claim of the House of York to the throne. Unfortunately, they are surrounded by the misty, swampy lands of generic medievalness. There was, however, the feeling that the Americans might like it better.

This war continued even after the death of Edward I. Subsequently Edward I was involved in a war with France. Following the death of Richard I, John ascended the throne as the King of England. His rule witnessed the House of Plantagenets lose much of their lands in France. Additionally, his defeat to the King of France Philip II resulted in the collapse of the Angevin Dynasty. Moreover, the various failures during his reign earned him the nickname ‘John Lackland’. Henry’s son Richard I succeeded the throne following his death.

The following year, Henry married Elizabeth, daughter of Edward IV, uniting York and Lancaster and establishing the House of Tudor, which ruled England until 1603. Edward III’s numerous children and their marriages greatly affected English history. Edward’s heir, the “Black Prince,” left an only son, who succeeded his grandfather as Richard II, on whose death (1399) this line became extinct. Lionel, the next surviving son of Edward III, left an only child, Philippa, who married the earl of March, in whose heirs was the right to the succession. Edward I of the House of Plantagenet was crowned as king following the death of his father Henry III. During his reign, Edward I spent most of his time making administrative changes and making reforms in the English Common Law.

The Black Death contribued to changes in the way that society ws structured. It triggered events that, along with Poll Taxes, caused the Peasants Revolt. By the end, there was a system of government that gave the nobles more of an input and, in theory, checked the excesses of monarchs.

This was the start of a series of conflict known as the ‘Hundred Years War’. It was a long war between the House of Plantagenet and its cadet House of Lancaster, rulers of Kingdom of England and the House of Valois. In other words, there’s a pretty good chance that you are, on some level, a Plantagenet. Under Edward I (ruled 1272–1307) Parliament developed into a body of men who had to approve all the laws that the king made.

The Crusades were efforts by Christians from Europe to gain control of Jerusalem and other parts of the Middle East that were known as the Holy Land. Richard spent only six months of his 10-year reign in England. The first Plantagenet king was Henry II, who was crowned in 1154.

The usual forms of address for a king for much of the Plantagenet era were ‘your highness’ and ‘your Grace’. Richard, however, had a grander and more elaborate vision of kingship than many of his predecessors, and he introduced the terms ‘your majesty’ and ‘your high majesty’ to the court vocabulary. In 1485 Henry Tudor killed Richard at the Battle of Bosworth and became Henry VII—the first of the Tudor line. He is usually depicted as a brave, warrior king, and was given the nickname 'Lionheart'.

Henry VI of England granted differenced versions of the Plantagenet arms to his maternal half-brothers. This was an extraordinary grant, since they were not descended from the English royal family.

The Starz version apparently features more nudity and sex and, of course, Americans are not as well-versed in that plague of British schoolchildren, the Wars of the Roses, on which “The White Queen” is based. We might, presumably, learn something about British history between Robin Hood and Henry VIII.

Richard II relied on a few courters which caused a lot of unrest at the court. Hence in 1387, the control of the government was taken over by the Lords Appellant, a group of aristocrats.

However, York and Lancaster were both branches of the Plantagenet family tree. England’s ambitions for land on mainland Europe and a desire to assert rights to ancestral lands led to war in France. The Hundred Years War saw England and continental allies fighting for control of Normandy and for the French crown. The peak of English success came under Henry V. He won the right for himself or his ancestor to inherit the crown of France. It was a shortlived reign over lands that were soon retaken by French forces. Henry II became king following the death of King Stephen.
