Happens to be a major inspiration behind Game of Thrones - Lannister = Lancaster and Stark = York.

I recommend to everyone to watch The Tudors. It's a great show.

Did you ever see the movie "War of the Roses" with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner? I never seen it the whole way through but I believe it was pretty hilarious!

RareLord47628, He was no worse than other kings of the time. Big debates over him, mainly did he have the Princes in the Tower killed so he could usurp the throne? We had lots of usurping and murder during The Plantaganent era. Nothing is as it seems and a fascinating era to learn about, more so than the Tudors. HTH

Jordan Reed, I LOVE that show! Especially since the actor who played Bash in Reign plays Thomas Culpepper in season 3 of The Tudors.

This is the 1st time I've heard it referred to as the Wars of the Rose's. i thought it was The War of the Roses. Is The Game of Thrones accurate to real history,

Player #19052917, but it was one war between them - the skirmishes and battles made up the war. We don't refer to the 2nd World War as the 2nd World Wars because there were localised battles. No, we call it the 2nd World War because each of the battles added up to one big war. the same with the 1st World War and every other war over time. Each individual battle will have its own name, for example, the Battle of the Somme in the 1st World War.

Jordan Reed The Tudors is awesome I love that show as well. Elizabeth of York was Henry VIIIs mother but if you really want to watch a show that is about the war of the roses then you should watch the white Queen which is about Edward VI and Elizabeth Woodville and the White Princess which is the 2nd season and that's about Elizabeth of York and Henry VII.
