Lancastrian faction

The Lancastrian faction was a group involved in the Wars of the Roses in 15th-century England, supporting the house of Lancaster's claim to the throne. They opposed the Yorkists, who supported the rival house of York. The conflict was a dynastic struggle for control of the monarchy, leading to a series of battles, political upheaval, and shifting alliances. The Lancastrians often represented traditional royal authority and noble interests, striving to maintain Lancaster's claim and influence in English politics during this turbulent period.
