The battle of the roses
So the battle of the roses was a civil war in England. Henry VI was a baby but when he grew older he became a good king. But then after some time he started going mad. Some people say it was because of his grandfather of France that made him go mad because he used to go mad too. So Henry VI far off cousin duke of York, became a substitute king. The Duke agreed. But when Henry got better then the Duke of York would not get off the throne so Henry got an army and defeated the Duke's army and the duke himself. Now Henry was the king of England once more. But the fight for the throne wasn't over yet and the duke's son Edward went and attacked Henry with another attack and took the throne and threw Henry in jail. But then Edward fell in love with on of Henry's relatives but they wouldn't let him marry her so he did it in secret. When they asked him to marry a princess from another land then he had to confess that he had married Henry's relative. The people got mad and took Henry out of prison and attacked Edward and sent him fleeing. But when Edward came back he took the throne back and put Henry in prison. He said that he would be safe in Edwards hands but he was wrong and got killed in prison by someone who they think Edward sent. He was king for four undisturbed years until he died and his son became king but they said that he was too small so the people had Richard III become king. But then yet another royal cousin Henry Tudor came and challenged him to the throne. Richard had such a bigger army but they didn't fight hard so they god killed and they surrendered and even Richard died and Henry Tudor became king, and that was the end of the Battle of The Roses.
