Re: War of the Roses
One often hears the War of the Roses referred to as the aftergame of the Hundred Years' War played out on English soil. Anyway, it was fought with standard mid/late-1400s Medieval tactics and techniques, with the curio that both sides were using the characteristic English longbow-tactic paradigm.
The 1600s strife was the English Civil War - in many ways an English sideshow of the Thirty Years' War on a smaller scale - and was waged with "Gustavian" Early Modern pike-and-shot tactics.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

I think the two are separate because this one, in my mind, has a wider use of gunpowder as offensive weaponry, and battles between matched forces, not cavalry vs. archers.

I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.
Re: War of the Roses
War of the Roses if I remember correctly from my history classes ended killing most of the nobles in England at that time allowing the victor (forgot his name) to centralize England around a monarch

Re: War of the Roses
The War could I suppose be blamed on Sommerset and the Queen (were they lovers?) There really was no need to insult the Duke of York in such a way.

Sorry, rambled off to myself there.
I was merley reffering to the way in which the Queen and Her Associates treated the Duke, constantly accusing him of treason.
