The Wars of the
Roses refers to various conflicts between 1455 and 1485
between the House of York, the white rose, and the House
of Lancaster, the red rose, both having originated from
the Plantagenet dynasty.
Wars between
the Houses continued from the reign of Henry Vl through
that of Edward lV to the time of Richard lll when, in
1485, Yorkist Richard was defeated at the Battle of
Bosworth Field by Lancastrian Henry Tudor who later
married Elizabeth of York, thus uniting both Houses
hence the Tudor Rose, an amalgamation of both emblems,
and the commencement of the Tudor period.
All three hand
carved designs are available on both jack and tankard
body shapes with an approximate capacity of one pint.
