War of the Roses, which took place from 1455 to 1485 was a series of civil wars fought between two opposing royal branches, the houses of Lancaster and the House of York, for the throne of England. They were both led by offspring of the King of England: Edward the Third, who reigned from 1327- 1377. The two Houses were both braches of the royal House of Plantagenet, House of York was led by the second elderly son of Edward III, Lancaster is let by the third son of Edward III. The War of Roses was the war for the throne between the fifth and sixth successor from the House of York and the fourth and fifth successor from the house of Lancaster. In this documentary, author Phillipa Gregory ( the film mentioned above is a derivation of her best-selling book) depicted the story of some historically documented and indespensable female figures.
