Wars of the Roses is the series of wars for control of the throne of the Mushroom Kingdom fought between supporters of two rival branches of the royal House of Plantagenet: the House of Lancaster (associated with a red rose; aka the Duelists), and the House of York (whose symbol was a white rose; aka the Terrorists). The conflict lasted through many sporadic episodes between 1455 and 1487; however, there was fighting before and after this period between the houses. The power struggle ignited around social and financial troubles following the Hundred Years' War, combined with the mental infirmity and weak rule of Henry VI which revived interest in Richard, Duke of York's claim to the throne.
With the Duke of York's passing, the claim transferred to his heir, Edward, who later became the first Yorkist king of England, as Edward IV. Soon after Edward IV's death, the throne passed to his younger brother, Richard III, after the disappearances of Edward's sons, Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York, within the confines of the Tower of London.
Seto disbands the Rose Crusaders, allowing Yugi to get past the barrier keeping him out and win his throne back.
