Rose: shrub of the genus Rosa in the rosaceae family having thorny, prickly stems. Obovate petals, thick petals, flowers in a single leaf stem, or many clusters, fragrant taste, Valentine's Day, birthday, marriage scene consumed much.

As one of the "sun never sets", the British Empire used the rose as its national flower. But as proud as the British, how to allow and Bulgaria, the United States bump into the "national flower", they gave a localized variety - called "Tudor rose".

The use of Tudor roses as badges in England dates back to the famous "Wars of the Roses" in the 15th century.

The house of York, represented by the white rose, and the House of Lancaster, represented by the red rose, fought for the throne.

However, from the blood source, the two families eat the same meal, York and Lancaster families belong to the branch of the Plantagenet dynasty, and are the two descendants of King Edward III of England.

The Wars of the Roses broke out two years after Edward III's unsuccessful campaign against France during the Hundred Years' War in the 14th century, and the later English nobility resented the loss of land titles they had held on the continent.

In order to make everyone clear from the source of the war, we may wish to go back to the beginning of the story, first from the two families of the former "comrade" old ancestor, he is a coward, live to middle age to achieve nothing Edward II.

Edward II, a member of the House of Plantagenet, had done nothing serious as king (1307-1327) for twenty years, partly because the nobles were bent on controlling the throne, and partly because he was incompetent, a man's boy, and had no psychology at all.

Edward II, for his own selfish reasons, freely awarded the land to a gay man, Piers Gaveston, making him the first Earl of Cornwall. This groundless, sudden count, let all the nobles chest shortness of breath, anger to the sky sigh.

And Gaveston himself, he's not a good guy. He relied on the favor and pride, when Edward II married Isabella of France, commandeered the throne, like a "I am the main palace, you are what onion" arrogant appearance.

After his coronation, the shameless Edward II also allocated a portion of his wife's dowry to same-sex lovers. This account was secretly recorded by Isabella.

With such a strange husband, it's only natural that the queen would move on. In the film adaptation, Isabella also has sex with other warriors, while Edward II is still a pussy.

In the film Braveheart, Isabella and Wallace fall in love, but they do not know each other in history. Isabella's real lover is Mortimer, an English aristocrat living in exile in France

Soon the nobles forced the king to set up a 21-member council, which was supposed to serve the law and cure the country's problems, but was actually used to "regulate" the king's behavior.

After the establishment of the committee, the nobles quickly worked hard to solve the most deadly king "lover". They submitted a draft, which led to Gaveston's exile, and were soon summoned back by Edward II. In 1302, the nobles tried to have him executed.

But the plan can not catch up with the change, Edward immediately found his replacement "successor" - Hugh Desenser Jr., compared with only the pillow breeze of his predecessor, Desenser from behind is the real threat to the throne.

When Edward II fell from power, his new favorite Despenser became the real power holder, and the king was so stupid that the nobles and queens could not see past it.

The nobles had ceased to regard Edward II as a king because of his defeat against the Scots. As Edward II's time drew to a close, many silently counted his remaining years, waiting for an opportunity to dethrone him.

Finally, the Battle of Bannockburn brought Edward II to his knees.

The Battle of Bannockburn took place on 24 June 1314, when the Scots defeated Edward's army of 25,000 men with fewer than 10,000 spearmen.

This battle can be called the most "glorious" experience of Edward II's life, he fled after the war, and the foolish figure of running away was firmly engraved in the hearts of the noble ministers, and Isabella's eyes.

Isabella, with the support of her lover Roger Mortimer, joined forces with the nobles to dethrone Edward II, brutally killing him, and then put her 15-year-old son Edward III on the throne, where she and her lover held the throne.

But she probably didn't realize that this teenager was a real time bomb.

Edward III was nothing like his father. He loved war, liked to fight on horses and joust with spears, showed the blood of a man at a young age, and not only that, he listened to the nobles, who were overjoyed - this is what we have been waiting for in a monarch!

Just as they hoped, the decisive Edward III would kill his family, starting with his own mother and lover.

In 1330, after just three years on the throne, Edward III ordered Mortimer executed and the Queen Mother imprisoned. After controlling the real power, he used foreign military struggles to win over the nobility, thus opening the intermittent, century-long "Anglo-French War".

Edward III, although the king of England, is an Anglo-French mixed blood, why suddenly want to start a war, one's own fight "one's own"?
