name = "Henry VI's Minority"
desc = "When King Henry V departed for his last campaign in France, he had appointed his youngest brother, Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, as Regent during his absence. Whilst Henry lived, this appointment was acceptable to all, because Gloucester was firmly under the Royal Power of his eldest brother and could be called to order if the necessity arose. Whatever his other failings, Gloucester was an intelligent man, and in the last months of King Henry V's reign, he discharged his office dutifully and conscientiously and gave no substantial cause for any complaint. He was one of the most prominent of the heroes of Agincourt and had been severely wounded in that epic battle, which ensured his immense popularity with the common people, and particularly in the City of London. Added to this he was affable, approachable, fond of a good joke, and was a noted patron of letters and learning. He was known to favour the continuation of the war until the French had been well and truly subjugated, a view commonly held by the people who thought that they deserved nothing less. Humphrey's troubles arose out of his personal dealings with the magnates whose responsibility it was to take a hand in the government of the country. They found him quarrelsome and difficult to do deal with and so they disliked and distrusted him. Chief among those who held this view where the two remaining Beaufort brothers, Henry, Bishop of Winchester, and Thomas, Duke of Exeter, who was the infant King's guardian. Henry V had done what he could before his death to arrange for his infant son's rule. By his will Henry's brother John, Duke of Bedford was to control Normandy and fight the war, whilst England was to be ruled by Gloucester, who was to by styled as Lord Protector. However, there was no constitutional precedent regarding the issue. And while Gloucester viewed his brother's dying wishes as his right, in actuality, it was the Lords of the Council who would determine whether or not Gloucester would ever assume this office. Led by Henry Beaufort, the Council resisted Gloucester's wishes, refusing to invest the powers of a Regency in him. Instead, Gloucester was created Protector of the Realm of England, which gave him the positon as King's Chief Councillor, sinking however to the role of Second Councillor whenever his older brother John should be present in England. Thus the council secured their rule of the country despite Henry V's and Gloucester's efforts. Humphrey was deeply insulted by Henry Beaufort's efforts, and would never truly forgive him. Parliament, however, could reverse the Council's decision, and was to meet late in the year. Gloucester then pressed his cause before the Lords to be recognised as Regent of England, basing his claim on his blood relationship to the new king, and the dying wishes of his brother. The Lords, suitably prepared by the two Beaufort brothers and other members of the Council, flatly refused his request. And so parliament backed the Council's wishes and Humphrey's reduced position was confirmed. Nevertheless, England suffered by the death of Henry V and the nominal rule of a baby, less than twelve months old in 1422, would invite discord and frustrate the war effort. The war demanded unity and sacrifice at home, but unity and harmony at home depended largely on the success of the war. The fate of England and indeed of Europe, hangs in the balance..."

desc = "William, Count of Holland and Hainault died in 1417, leaving one daughter, Jacqueline. Jacqueline had been married to the Dauphin who had died only a few weeks before her father. At the time, king Henry V had made overtures for the lady's hand for his brother John, Duke of Bedford, but her mother, the sister of the late Duke of Burgundy, John-the-Fearless, saw to it that the young widow married John, Duke of Brabant, Philip's nephew and who's father had been Duke but was killed by the English at Agincourt.

They fell head-over-heels in love, and announced their intention of getting married despite the misgivings of the Council and Bedford in France. With Pope Martin V they made no progress, and so Gloucester approached the recently displaced Pope Benedict XIII, who was happy to spite Pope Martin, and so granted the anullment. Their marriage secured Gloucester the title of count of Holland, Zeeland and Hainult, albeit at a cost as the Courts of Europe were scandalised by what they had done. The duke of Burgundy was incandescent with rage, and made it clear that he had suffered a grave affront which he felt most deeply. Believing, with good reason, that Jacqueline's inheritance of Hainault would never be surrendered to her peaceably, Humphrey saw seizure by force as the only alternative. despite Bedford's and the Council's warnings. Such a venture into Hainault would be seen as a hostile act against Burgundy herself."

name = "Richard, Duke of York"
desc = "The Duke of York was the son of Richard, Earl of Cambridge and Anne Mortimer. York inherited his title from his paternal grandfather, Edmund of Langely, who was the fourth surviving son of the great Edward III. Cambridge had been executed for treason by King Henry V on the eve of Henry's initial expedition to France in 1415, leaving York an orphan at the age of four. York's paternal uncle, Edward, then duke of York, was killed at Agincourt shortly thereafter, leading the English vanguard against the French cavalry in the opening phases of the battle. Perhaps it was Edward's loyalty and courageous actions at Agincourt that saved his nephew from an early political demise, but certainly by enfeofing his estates to his supporters and trusted lords, Edward had helped to secure his young nephew's eventual recovery of the lands of York. Tragically, Anne had passed away soon after Richard was born, but through her the vast Mortimer estates eventually fell into York's hands. Furthermore, Anne decended directly from Lionel of Antwerp, the second surviving son of Edward III. Thus, York had an excellent claim on the throne of England, a claim that was arguably better than Henry's. In time, Richard was to become the richest and greatest magnate in England. Despite the questionable actions of his ancestors, he had served as Henry VI's constable during his visit to France and was later created lieutenant general of France and Normandy from 1436-37, after Bedford's death. Although York would be displaced by the aging Beauchamp earl of Warwick, two years later York was once more driven into the problems of French policy when Warwick passed away. A successor had to be found who would be sensitive to the conflicting political views held by Gloucester and Beaufort in the Council. The new lieutenant needed to be of sufficient social status, and, of the modest number of possible candidates, York was the most promising. The duke of Gloucester was anxious to secure the post, but the Beaufort group successfully resisted. Richard had experience, the landed resources from which to raise fresh troops, and had shown himself willing to listen to advice."

desc = "York had received a summons to parliament and his presence was necessitated by Henry VI's determination for a lasting peace with France. The clause of the Treaty of Troyes which required parliamentary ratification of any subsequent Anglo-French treaty was nullified, thereby giving diplomatic carte blanche to Henry, but the chancellor was also clear, in his declaration on behalf of all the lords that this policy was the king's alone. Henry's determination to press ahead with his policy placed York in considerable political difficulty. The policy was unpopular in France, and would be actively resisted. York's own council in France was uncooperative, and his councillors in England were highly critical. In the meantime, Adam Moleyns, keeper of the privy seal, had charged York of favouritism in the payment of some soldiers, non-payment of others, and general mismanagement to the detriment of the French duchy. York would retort with charges of his own against Moleyns. Despite York's having received public recognition of his services in an act of parliament, public charges of mismanagement were obviously unwelcome from any source, and it was especially disconcerting that they had been pressed by a royal councillor very close to Suffolk and therefore, to the king. Thus, when York sought due payment from the exchequer for his services he found his inquiries deflected, and within the year, his positon was given to Edmund Beaufort. Recent Beaufort enterprises into France could scarcely generate confidence in the new appointment amongst York's councillors, and it was assumed that Edmund had been appointed to further a peace policy. To compound the issue, York had taken part in council discussions surrounding over the surrender of certain English holdings in France, to which he had demonstrated an outright hostility towards any conciliatory concessions to France as well as several financial settlements made on the Beauforts. Shortly thereafter, a Royal patent created York lieutenant of Ireland. Though the assignment may have been an attempt to politically isolate him, York's efforts in Ireland would prove to be effective. Once York established himself in Meath, he had received the submission of forty-two Irish leaders, restoring a degree of stability and order to the provinces, if only for a while..."

In a subsequent parliament, and in these circumstances the Commons adopted the procedure of impeachment and used it against Henry's corrupted Chief Councillor Suffolk, challenging the whole policy of the government. Henry himself openly favoured the accused, who made an emotional appeal to his king. Despite the Commons desire for indictment and due process of impeachment, and with rioting and unrest plaguing Suffolk's trial, Henry interfered, sentencing his minister to exile without any formal verdict. In so doing, Henry had flagrantly excercised the royal prerogative in defiance of the parliamentary proceedings. Nevertheless, the harsh punishment which the Commons had failed to obtain was to be provided by the commonality. Suffolk, on his way to exile, was beheaded by an Irishman with six strokes of a rusty sword. Although Suffolk was dead, the Commons would not forget Henry's attempt to save him, no more than they would retreat from the battle for Resumption. The king, far from submitting, resisted parliaments efforts until it was eventually agreed that Henry would reserve the right to exempt those whom he alone felt deserved such status, from the acts of resumption subject to all of Henry's grants from the moment he assumed the throne on his fathers death. Needless to say, many of Henry's lancastrian supporters would find themsleves quite content, some even managed to gain from the act."

desc = "Throughout Suffolk's trial there were numerous uprisings. Adam Moleyns, keeper of the Privy Seal, who'd attacked York's credibility a few years earlier, was murdered early in the new year by soldiers awaiting transportation to France, and Cuthbert Colville, an esquire in York's service in Normandy, had been party to the deed. William Aiscough, Bishop of Salisbury was torn to pieces by his own parishioners, he'd been dragged from the church at Edington where he was saying Mass and murdered on a nearby hill in Wiltshire. It was widely held that both were covetous men, much hated by the common people, and held to have promoted Gloucester's death three years prior. A formidable and pro-Yorkist movement of Kentishmen revolted against the policies of Henry VI led by Jack Cade who called himself Mortimer, a former soldier. The majority of the participants were yeomen, husbandmen and craftsmen and small landowners from Kent, who objected to forced labour, corrupt courts, the arbitrary seizure of land by nobles, the loss of royal lands in France, and heavy taxation. Led by Cade the rebellion defeated a government force sent to disperse them, and entered London. The aims of the rebels were political rather than social, and a draft of their Proclamation of Grievances was heavily circulated throughout England which had called for the return of the duke of York and an end to the poor governance of Suffolk and his hated affinity."

The purpose of the thread is to discuss and develop revised events for the War of the Roses. As the discussions on this subject are likely to be long and on-going, I want to try to keep them in one place so nothing is lost.
good idea.
I'm sure no one wants to leave the War of the Roses (WotR) entirely to me, so those of you with a hankerin' for some English factionalism best step up.
I'll start with a list of the events, then move to monarchs and leaders. I've proposed that the tags YOR and LAN be utilized for the WotR, and so their revolt.txt definitions will need to be discussed aswell. I'm sure there will be objections to the assignment of provinces to each side, but hopefully we can iron out any dificulties with a solid debate.
One of the aims of the new series will be to create a more in-depth depiction of the civil war, and to draw the player into the nitty gritty of the Lancastrian and Yorkist struggle. I want you to be hunting down your opposition and beheading them all on the field of battle like the bloodthirsty Plantaganet that you are.
