👽I’m a bit of an illegal alien when it comes to God’s own county!
I’m a Lancastrian born and bred (and proud 🌹) so Yorkshire is my adopted county. Obviously I live here, our children were born here and I know several Yorkshire folk who are actually OK….😂
For those of you who are like “What’s the big deal?” Yorkshire and Lancashire have a feud dating back to the War of the Roses in 1455 💂♀️💁♀️
The War of the Roses was a series of battles fought in England between two royal families: the House of Lancaster (red rose) and the House of York (white rose). Both sides believed they had the right to the throne, leading to decades of conflict from 1455 to 1487. It was a messy, dramatic period full of power struggles, betrayals, and shifting alliances. Eventually, Henry Tudor (a Lancastrian) defeated Richard III (a Yorkist) and became King Henry VII, marrying Elizabeth of York to unite the two families—ending the war and starting the Tudor dynasty.
