The renaissance era was kicked off with a bang as the 100 years war began between Great Britain and France. This war was acctually a long line of almost constant conflicts that lasted for about 116 years and started around 1337 and ended around 1453. Next came the war of the roses. This was a war between two branches of the Plantagenet royal house. These two branches were the House of Lancaster and the House of York. Both of these houses could trace their ancestry back to King Edward III. This war was bloody and costly with heavy casualties among the nobility and the armys. This war was fought by using two old fashioned fudal armies that consisted of knights and other lowly types of warriors that were comanded by their lords to fight in payment for the land that was given to them by those lords.
