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
Some characteristic forenames: Irish Brendan, Aileen, James Patrick, Kieran.
Welsh (Pembrokeshire): habitational name from any of various minor places in Wales, in particular one near Pembroke with a major castle, named from Welsh caer ‘fort’ + rhiw ‘hill, slope’. The surname was taken to Ireland soon after the Norman invasion of England and was Gaelicized as de Carrún. In the 16th century a family called Carew from Devon played an important part in establishing the Tudor administration in Ireland.
Cornish (Somerset and Devon): from the cognate Cornish word kerrow (plural of ker ‘fort’), which occurs seven times as a placename in Cornwall.
