The two houses in conflict with one another in the War of the Roses were the House of York and the House of Lancaster.

The House of Lancaster/Lannister VS the House of York/Stark This real life, historical conflict serves as the basis for the book and television series, Game of Thrones. Known as the “War of the Roses” it was ultimately a struggle to claim the throne between the families descended from Edward III and those descended from Henry IV. One of the bloodiest civil wars in British history, it marked the end of of medieval England and ushered in the beginning of the Renaissance. Henry Percy's Battle is very heavy with his personal Livery as it would appear that the subordinate commanders with him were not of any great rank (mostly barons and one pretend Baron) so its likely they wouldn't of had the authority to wear their own.During the Late Medieval Period, a series of conflicts took place in England which were more destructive than the Hundred Years War had been in the previous century. I have also added personalities to each of the retinues that i have done so far, mounted and foot for Battle commanders and just foot for subordinate.Īll of the battles of the Lancastrian and Yorkist forces are now complete. Heavy Cavalry now added to the main battle commanders, I didn't add them to the subordinate commanders as heavy cavalry charges were rare in the Wars of the Roses and likely any heavy cavalry that were there would of been amalgamated with a battle commander. My current goal is to provide the Retinues of all of the major commanders present at the battle of Towton and then move onto the lesser lords. This is a work in progress for the armies of the wars of the Roses.
