- Not as significant as 1399 events
- no full blown civil war
- Said to have contributed to civil strife
- Neville and Percy family
- 2 most powerful families in England at the time
- Both in conflict
- Constantly at battle
- If one supported a house, the other would support the other
- 1st BOSA
- Somerset and Percies supported Henry IV
- Lancastrians ment Nevilles who supported Yorkists
- The more that was at steak, the higher the encouragement is to fight

- Successful in battle and inspiring people encouraging the support of lancastrians
- Significant cause as irritated people and encouraged civil strife
- CONCLUSION
- many causes contributing to civil strife
- 1455 & 1461, POD and events went on to cause most significant short terms causes
- had others not happened, less likely to have occurred
- POD caused more friction and tension that might not otherwise have led to civil strife in 1461
- As Henry was 1st Lancastrian king this reason is fundamentally key cause of civil strife
- without this and 1399, other events are less likely to have occurred
