Like his grandfather, the mad King Charles VI, Henry VI suffered a mental collapse and in the ensuing crisis, the long internecine slaughter of the Wars of the Roses began. Henry V achieved glory at the Battle of Agincourt, only to die young, leaving a child king to succeed him. The argument with respect to my fellow geeks is not always at. The Wars of the Roses saw the houses of York and Lancaster fight for the throne between 14.
Richard's incompetence and tyranny precipitated his deposition by the Lancastrians. Or, to be less dramatic, it is fair to say that the debate around which Royal House York or Lancaster had the best claim to the throne is still hotly debated. In 1377 the great warrior king, Edward III, died leaving his kingdom to his young grandson, Richard II. The Wars of the Roses took place during the last phase of the Hundred Years' War.
