04. The War of the Roses

By Trashy Royals on May 4, 2023May 4, 2023

Welcome to the Court of the Trashy Royals, friends! Today, Alicia takes us on a wild ride through the family values of the descendants of England’s King Edward III (1312-1377), who basically spent the next century-plus fighting over who would wear the big crown. The question was finally settled by the emergence of England’s first Tudor king, whose red- and white-rose motif represented a final coming together of the White Rose of the House of York and the Red Rose of the House of Lancaster.

    Anne Neville was married to Prince Edward of Lancaster before her marriage to Richard III. She may have been kidnapped by Clarence to keep her from marrying Richard & to make sure he & his wife were the only heirs of Warwick.
