The major players in the Wars of the Roses were King Henry VI, Queen Margaret (his wife), Richard, Duke of York, and Edward IV (his son). ๐
King Henry VI was known for his kindness, but his weakness made people question his leadership.
Margaret of Anjou was a strong queen who fought hard for her husband's throne. Richard, Duke of York, wanted to lead England himself, and his son, Edward IV, eventually became king! Other important families involved included the Neville family, who supported the Yorks, and the Tudor family, who would change everything after the wars ended!
