玫瑰战争是如何开始的？

When the Wars of the Roses began,   the House of Lancaster ruled.

The Wars of the Roses had many causes, but one of the leading causes was the tension  between the Houses of Lancaster and York.

玫瑰战争有很多原因，但主要原因之一是兰开斯特家族和约克家族之间的紧张关系。

It  ended with Richard of York's death, but even this was not the end of the Wars of the Roses.

This final act united the houses of Lancaster and York through marriage and finally brought about an end to the Wars of the Roses and the start to the Tudor dynasty.

近 400 年过去了，我们才要讲到现实事件中的玫瑰战争，但它真正开始于家族树状图上一个叫爱德华三世的人。

它见证了玫瑰战争，这是一场约克家族和兰开斯特家族为争夺王位而相互对抗的残酷冲突。

但玫瑰战争并没有就此结束。 虽然爱德华四世可以被认为是一位成功的统治者，但现在焦点将转移到他的另一个兄弟身上； 理查德，格洛斯特公爵。
