Descended from Edmund of Langley (1341-1402), 1st Duke of York and 5th son of Edward Ⅲ, the House of York fought the Wars of the Roses with the House of Lancaster, both houses being branches of the Plantagenet line. Lancaster eventually prevailed, through their descendants, the Tudors, but the houses were united when the victorious Henry Ⅶ married Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of Edward Ⅳ (1486).
