Lancastrian Cause

The Lancastrian Cause refers to the faction that supported the Lancastrian dynasty during the Wars of the Roses, a series of civil wars in England from the mid-15th century. The Lancastrians were represented by the red rose symbol and championed the claim of King Henry VI and his descendants to the throne. This conflict was primarily against the rival Yorkist faction, symbolized by the white rose. The struggle for power involved battles, shifting alliances, and significant political intrigue, ultimately impacting the course of English history and leading to the rise of the Tudor dynasty.
