Henry IV, his cousin and Duke of Lancaster, took the throne away from him becoming the first Lancastrian king of England. When he died his son Henry V believed he had a right to the French throne so he fought and won against France. When he died he left his young son Henry VI who was mentally ill so Richard, Duke of York, was chosen to rule England.
That's why the Wars of the Roses began; it lasted thirty years (1455 - 1485) and its name is because of the symbols of the two families. 
The principal reason why there was a war is because both houses had a eqaul right to the throne because they were descendants of Edward III.
Richmond, a Lancastrian, defeated Richard III at the battle of Bosworth and married Elizabeth of York, uniting the two houses.]]> 2017-04-03 19:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/alienouis2/RichardIII/wish/164467296 alienouis2 https://padlet.com/alienouis2/RichardIII/wish/164474225 Someone thinks the powerful character in Shakespeare's play is not Richard III. He's portrayed as a normal man without any type of physical deformity. 
Richard wasn't addicted to claiming the throne. He was successful in defending England from Scots and improving the lifestyle of the common people. But there are so many doubts and mysteries which surround the figure of Richard, for example the disappearence of the princes or his own disappearence.]]> 2017-04-03 20:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/alienouis2/RichardIII/wish/164474225 alienouis2 https://padlet.com/alienouis2/RichardIII/wish/164478059 After the civil war king Edward IV is on the throne but his younger brother Richard claims the England throne, he has a hunched back  and no one wants him so he decides to slay everyone who stand between him and the power.
