And what happens during war?.
What happened to the house of York?

The War of the Roses were a series of civil wars in medieval England from 1455 to 1487 between the house of Lancaster and the House of York. The name of the War of the Roses is based on the insignia used by the two parties, the red rose for the Lancastrians and the white rose for the Yorkist. The main causes of conflict are: 1) the two rooms were direct descendants of King Edward III, 2) the decision Lancaster King Henry VI, surrounded himself with unpopular nobles, 3) disorders for much of population, 4) the availability of many powerful lords with their own private armies, and episodes of premature mental illness by King Henry VI.
In this year [1411], that Richard Plantagenet was born to Richard, fifth Earl of Cambridge and Anne Mortimer. His father was the son of Edmund, the first Duke of York, who was in turn the fourth son of Edward III. If Henry VI had died before 1453, the year of the birth of Edward, Prince of Wales, then Richard would probably have been crowned king of England, since there was no other noble (since the death of Uncle Henry VI and heir Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, died in 1447) with such a high demand on the throne at that time, other than Richard himself.

Being so highly placed in the royal household, Richard was asked to play an important role in government and politics of England throughout his life and in business from England to France during the later stages of the war Hundred Years. He was appointed Lieutenant of France in 1436. Throughout his service in Europe, he had to pay for the services of his men and finance the army in France from its own funds.

Although York was a rich man in his own right, (York was the sole benefactor of the childless Edmund Mortimer, who had died of the plague in Ireland in 1425). It was his marriage to Cecily Neville in 1438 (which was known as "The Rose of Raby '), daughter of Ralph Neville, Earl of Westmoreland and the sister of Richard Neville, Earl of Salisbury, who had brought great wealth. Thus, it could, but unfortunately, doing so to fund the English army overseas. When he left France, York had forwarded some £ 38,000 of his own money to keep interest English in France. To add insult to injury, in 1445, he was replaced as Lieutenant of France by Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset. There is no doubt that it was on the boards Somerset (who was a cousin of Henry VI, and someone Henry trusted more than the Duke of York) that Henry VI created York Lieutenant of Ireland, which was in reality, exile by office. Somerset was probably afraid York, a fear reinforced by the fact that Somerset, a man who detested York also, and a favorite of Henry VI was forwarded funds to the sum of £ 25,000 to support the king's army in France.

The Wars of the Roses (1455-1485) were a series of civil wars on the throne of England between the supporters of the Lancastrian and Yorkist. Both houses were branches of the Plantagenet royal house, tracing descent from King Edward III.

Wars have been fought largely by the landed aristocracy and armies of retainers. Support for each house depends largely on dynastic factors, such as marriages within the nobility, feudal titles, and tenures. It is sometimes difficult to follow the changes of power and allegiance as nobles acquired or lost titles through marriage, confiscation or attainture. For example, the patriarch John of Gaunt Lancaster first title was Earl of Richmond, the same title which Henry VII later held, while the Yorkist patriarch Edmund of Langley's first title was Earl of Cambridge.

The name of "War of the Roses" does not appear to have been used.
