Answer

The Wars of the Roses, an English civil conflict fought between 1455 and 1485, led to the decimation of the old nobility of England. This prolonged conflict between the House of York and the House of Lancaster resulted in the deaths of numerous aristocratic families and their supporters on both sides, weakening the traditional power structures and paving the way for the rise of the Tudor dynasty under Henry VII.
