World Events in 1470 - In England
This can be covered in one sentence, as nothing has changed since last week: the Wars of the Roses continued. The House of York with its white rose, and the House of Lancaster with its red rose were ravaging England. Henry VI was still king. He was in the Tower of London, his children had already been murdered in the most dreadful fashion, and he was coming to the end of his life. He died on May 21, 1471, and his death was a liberation, as he was one of the West's most unfortunate rulers.
