Talk:Wars of the Roses

Wars of the Roses -
I have started the Wars of the Roses page, trying to make it geographical, chronological and simple to follow the (hi)story.

I hope with your help to improve:


 * Understand

this needs better prose than mine.


 * Prepare

with Royal lines of England + simple genealogical chart(s) of only the main Kings/Houses.

To understand the age: royal houses, lords, living, chivalry, politics


 * Get in

To provide more geographical context any Royal Route Marches and campaign trails would be good here.


 * Battlefields

With simple comments to promote the (hi)story, History buffs can click on and read the Wikipedia pages.

Possibly add Shakespeare quotes.

More castles and cities [not Lancaster as I believe only the name not the city is relevant] with brief comments to their relevance in these wars wold be good too.

You will also note that I have banished the superfluous * from {in front of) listings to give a cleaner look and to encourage readers to click on them for a close up map [I think we need an article on this great but not obvious feature of the brilliant Mapframe widget].


 * Stay safe

From a historical 1400s perceptive:Weapons, deaths of challengers and how they could avoid them. i.e. Leaving Princes in the tower Richard III horseless. Hints on avoiding arrows, etc,
