Does /his/ like the War of the Roses?

I did a paper on them. I came to the conclusion that they were actually pretty small scale, but they were remembered as HUGE.

This memory fuelled the autism of Henry VIII, and thus really wanted a son.

Wars in the middle ages were generally small scale. The 100YW, that happened at the same time, wasnt that much larger

Yeah, but records said that the Battle of Towton had more than 20,000 dead, which would literally be a quarter of fighting-age men in England.

The level of disproportion concerning the memory of the Wars of the Roses is insane.

No it wouldn't be.

You have a rough population of about 1.9 million in 1450, of which about half will be women, so we have about 950,000 men. For the 20,000 dead at Towton to be 1/4 of fighting age men in England, we'd be positing that the "fighting ages" are about 8% of the population, which is ridiculous.
