This was a series over the question of who had the strongest claim to the throne. The Lancasters were the descendants of John of Gaunt and his wife Blanche of Lancaster while the Yorks were descendants of Edmund of Langley Duke of York. In fact the conflict started much earlier with the children of Edward III and Philippa of Hainault.
It is traditionally taught that it was between the houses of York and Lancaster, yet there were a lot more players involved than these two families. The Wars of the Roses was a series of wars from 1455 until 1487 for the throne of England.
