    After the end of the Hundred War, thousands of disillusioned people returned to England, for whom the war was the right of their lives. The situation in the region became sharply complicated, as the weakening of the royal power threatened with turmoil. Nezabar began a bloody struggle for power between two grouped nobles.

    The rulers of Henry VI of the Lancastrian dynasty (the great part of the Plantagenets) were dissatisfied with the king's relative, the Duke of York. The ancestral emblem of the Lancastrians was the red Troyand, and that of the Yorks was the white one. The war that broke out is known as the War of the Red and White Trojans (1455-1485). Despite its romantic name, the war was characterized by rare brutality. The royal ideals of honor were forgotten, and for the sake of that crooked reprisals came one after another.

    After the death of King Edward IV of the York dynasty, the throne fell to the eldest of his young sons. Ale brother of the late king seized power and began to rule under the names of Richard III (1483-1485).

    The uninterrupted ruler, Richard III, pursued a reasonable policy and began to restore the war-torn country. Alas, the enemies did not sleep. In 1485, a distant relative of the Lancasters, Henry Tudor, landed in England. At the Battle of Bosworth, Richard was cheered by his neighbors, and his special courage could no longer be touched. You decided to roll and die. Right on the battlefield, the crown was placed on the head of the victor – Henry VII Tudor (1485–1509).

      Having come to power, Henry VII made every effort to destroy his lost enemy, revealing him as an evil monster who had walked his way to the throne over the corpses of his relatives. Richard was accused of the cold-blooded slaughter of young nephews. But there is no direct evidence of his guilt, and for Henry VII, the death of the Lord of York was much more significant than Richard.

    As a result of the War of the Red and White Trojans, the Tudor dynasty (1485-1603) came to power. Having made friends with a representative of the York dynasty, Henry VII reconciled with their friends and united in his coat of arms the grievances of the Trojans - the red and the white. The new monarch ordered the nobles to disband the military corrals, mercilessly dealing with all those who wanted to subjugate. The king didn’t need to get caught up in the celebratory ceremonies, but also about the addition of treasures. His government has increased taxes and expanded its administrative apparatus. Parliament, as before, was assembled, but everything was determined by the royal will.
