第一场战役以兰开斯特家族的失败而告终,理查公爵控制了皇室。1459年,皇后玛格丽特帮助兰开斯特家族把理查排挤出议会,战争又起。亨利六世率军战胜约克家族军队,理查逃亡法国。次年6月,理查之子爱德华率军杀回英国,大败兰开斯特军,攻占伦敦,俘获国王。但玛格丽特不甘失败,率军突袭,杀死理查。理查之子爱德华打败兰开斯特军,自己登上英国王位,称爱德华四世,建约克王朝。玛格丽特逃往苏格兰。战争暂时告一段落。
Polo: The second period was a result of the internal contradictions among the York. Count Warwick wanted to control Edward IV because he had rendered meritorious service to the new dynasty. But the king wanted to weaken the power of the nobles. Warwick aligned with Margaret and attacked the king. Henry VI again became king, but lost his crown once more to Edward after the battle of Tewkesbury in 1471. The Yorkists held power until Richard III lost his throne to the Lancastrian Henry Tudor. Henry Tudor married into the House of York. This personal union ended the conflict, and a new famous dynasty, the Tudors, emerged.
战争第二阶段是由约克家族内讧开始的。沃里克伯爵在建立约克王朝的斗争中立下汗马功劳,并大权在握,企图控制国王爱德华四世。但国王坐稳王位后则开始抑制大贵族,提高王权。双方矛盾日益激化。沃里克伯爵宿敌玛格丽特结盟,恢复亨利六世王位。爱德华于1471年在蒂克斯伯里歼灭兰开斯特军余部,俘玛格丽特,处死亨利六世。此后,约克王朝掌权了,直到理查三世丢了皇位,兰开斯特家族远亲亨利?都铎即位,称亨利七世。翌年,都铎娶爱德华四世之女伊丽莎白为妻。个人的联姻结束了红白玫瑰间的矛盾,开始了一个全新的著名的王朝——都铎王朝。
