Detailed explanation-1: -The Wars of the Roses were a series of bloody civil wars for the throne of England between two competing royal families: the House of York and the House of Lancaster, both members of the age-old royal Plantagenet family.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Hundred Years’ War was a long struggle between England and France over succession to the French throne. It lasted from 1337 to 1453, so it might more accurately be called the “116 Years’ War.” The war starts off with several stunning successes on Britain’s part, and the English forces dominate France for decades.
Detailed explanation-3: -This truce, seemingly fragile, survived various stresses and can be held to mark the end of the Hundred Years’ War. No peace treaty was ever signed. Calais was retained by the English until 1553, and English kings continued to claim the title king of France until 1801.
