Yorkists

The Yorkists were members of a prominent English noble family involved in the Wars of the Roses, a series of civil wars for control of the English throne during the 15th century. They were supporters of the House of York, which claimed the throne against the rival House of Lancaster. Key figures included Edward IV and Richard III. The conflict centered on issues of legitimacy and power, ultimately leading to significant political changes. The Yorkists wore white roses as their emblem, symbolizing their faction in this struggle for dominance in England's royal lineage.
