Quick Summary

The Union of the Two Noble and Illustrate Famelies of Lancastre and Yorke is a chronicle by Edward Hall. This work is a significant source for understanding the reign of Henry VIII and is noted for its literary quality compared to other chronicles of its time.1

The chronicle covers the historical period known as the Wars of the Roses, a series of dynastic civil wars fought in England between the houses of Lancaster and York for control of the throne. These wars, named after the supposed badges of the white rose of York and the red rose of Lancaster, occurred from 1455 to 1485 and preceded the establishment of the Tudor government.2
