War of the Roses

by Nick Clark

 How long can a country stay together in a world of conflict?
-King Henry IV of York

 
It is 1455 and England has split into five city-states, one being neutral in the upcoming conflict. The House of Lancaster holds its numerous forces and ships while the House of York continue their preparation for years and years of Civil Strife. The Kingdom of Bristol in the west begins to trade with the neutral province of Plymouth. The Kingdom of London begins to pile forces behind the Southern Wall of York. The white rose of Lancaster and the red rose of York will soon engage in a thirty-year combat.
