1455 · Wars of the Roses

Wars of the Roses was a series of English civil wars for control of the throne of England between the royal families House of Lancaster and the House of York. The name of the war was derived as the red rose was the symbol of the Lancastrians and the white rose was the symbol of the Yorks.

Name Meaning

English (Lincolnshire and Yorkshire): habitational name from Hackforth (North Yorkshire) or Hackford (Norfolk). The former is named with Old English haca ‘hook’ + ford ‘ford’, meaning ‘ford at the bend’. The latter likely has the same etymology, or may contain the Old English personal name Haca.
