War of the Roses

Wars were also part of the crisis, notably the Hundred Years War between England and France. In 1328 the French Capetian line ended. England’s Edward III (d.1377) claimed the French throne, but a cousin to the Capets, Philip of Valois, became king (d.1350). War soon began. Armored knights on horseback were the backbone of medieval armies, but English peasants using the longbow had begun to change the face of war. When the French king was captured, a treaty was signed in 1360: France agreed to pay ransom, the English received land in France, and Edward renounced his claim to the throne. Using guerilla tactics, the French regained their lands, but in 1415 England’s Henry V (d.1422)

During the American Revolution, the Americans and French (Franco-American coalition) fought the British at the Battle of Yorktown also known as “The Siege of Yorktown”. The Americans and the French fielded a combined force of roughly 16,000 soldiers to defeat the British force estimated at 7,000 soldiers. American General George Washington and French Lieutenant General de Rochambeau led the American and French soldiers. The British commanding officer was Major General Lord Cornwallis. The battle occurred from September 28 thru October 19, 1781. Cornwallis lost his dominance in the Carolinas and decided to march his army north to Virginia and seize Yorktown and Gloucester along the York River.

The Yorkshire rebellion for instance was establish itself after Henry VII demanded for war funds with France from Yorkshire. This new tax system put in place by Henry VII was deemed unfair as they felt it was unnecessary being so far north. The Cornish Rebellion of 1497 was caused similarly by unfair taxation introduced under Henry VII after demanding the people of Cornwall to fund the war with Scotland. These two rebellions highlight that Henry VII was never seriously threatened by a loyal due to the aims being more compromising in policy rather than forceful with issues of power being caused by Henry Tudor’s weak claim to the throne seen in Lovell, Simnel and Warbeck of which did appear to be a major threat.

Other factors that contributed to William’s victory include: William was better prepared, the English army was severely weakened as Harold had just fought off an invasion in the North of England, and Harold made a fatal mistake of prematurely entering the Battle of Hastings.

Henry Tudor left France on August 1 with 2,000 men and gathered more men as he travelled through Wales; by the time of battle on the 22nd of August he had a 5,000 strong army (Hickman, 2009). Richard III had an army of 10,000 men. Henry had sent messengers to Lord Stanley and Sir William Stanley requesting assistance, they both agreed to desert Richard III during the battle. When both Stanleys swapped sides, this turned the numbers in favour of Henry's army. The battle only lasted approximately 2 hours ending with Richard’s death and Henry Tudor, despite being 13th in line for the crown at the time, was crowned King Henry VII.

The Xochiyaoyotl, or “War of Flowers” were ritual battles that were typically fought between warriors of the Aztec triple alliance and warrior from the eastern Tlaxxalan-Pueblan valley (Carrasco 2014:67). They were fought during the 15th and early 16th centuries with the purpose of gaining captives for sacrificial rituals as well as maintaining political balance between the kingdoms.

As such, dying on the battlefield was considered something to take pride in. and sacrificing captives was thought to be an integral part of gift exchange between humans and the gods

Washington and Rochambeau decided that a battle in New York would be too difficult to win. They agreed to attack Charles Cornwallis while he and his army were stationed in Yorktown, Virginia. Cornwallis was located on a peninsula on the Chesapeake Bay because, there, he could receive supplies via boat from New York. (Creating America) They were expecting more troops from New York, but they never arrived. The lack of reinforcements was lucky for General Washington and Rochambeau because Cornwallis had a comparatively better army; the battle might not have ended the same if the enemy had more troops.

The Battle of Yorktown took place in October of 1781, but before that day many important events led up to the battle. In 1778, British military power was focused on the Southern region of America. Lieutenant Charles Cornwallis was leading a successful military campaign in the south, defeating the Continental Army in battles such as the Battle of Guilford courthouse in March of 1781. After that General Cornwallis moved his men to Virginia.

The strengths' pioneer against Henry was driven by his brother by marriage Simon de Montfort, sixth Earl of Leicester, who was hitched to Henry's sister Eleanor. de Montfort needed to reassert the Magna Carta and power the ruler to surrender more energy to the nobleman's committee. In 1264 at the Battle of Lewes, Henry and his child, the future King Edward I, were crushed and caught.

The War of the Roses: An Unhappy Co-Owners Negotiation Duncan Kirkwood PPA 605 Negotiation, Bargaining & Conflict Management Instructor: John Bathke March 9, 2015 When I think of Unhappy Co-Owners, the movie, The War of the Roses, starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, comes to mind.

The movie was filled with ridiculous acts on one another, neither of them listening to their attorney friend, played by Danny DeVito, who offered reasonable solutions to their conflict. In the end, they both die, their stubbornness being
