The Wars of the Roses
Who was Who in the Wars of
the Roses
The
following are brief biographies of those men and women who were caught
up in the conflict. The list is arranged alphabetically in order of surnames.
Members of the royal families of York and Lancaster are listed under the
name of Plantagenet.
The Society is very grateful to the Yorkshire
Branch, and in particular to Pauline Harrison Pogmore who compiled the
list of biographies, for allowing them to be published on this website. They were published on behalf of the branch by Rosalba Press in
July 2005 by whom the copyright is held.
The bibliography at the end of the listing is
that compiled by the author.
