Of course, given the current hullabaloo around the world as to the conspiracy theories around the Knights Templar, Priory of Sion, and the Rose as a symbol  (if you're not aware of "The DaVinci Code" mess, what planet have you been?)

I propose that the "War of the Roses" was really all about two factions of the surviving Knights Templar and who would emerge supreme as the caretakers of the "Secret"


THE WAR OF THE ROSES:
May 22, 1455


In the opening battle of England's War of the Roses, the Yorkists defeat King Henry VI's Lancastrian forces at St. Albans, 20 miles northwest of London. Many Lancastrian nobles perished, including Edmund Beaufort, the duke of Somerset, and the king was forced to submit to the rule of his cousin, Richard of York. The dynastic struggle between the House of York, whose badge was a white rose, and the House of Lancaster, later associated with a red rose, would stretch on for 30 years.

Don't hijack MY conspiracy, go make your own!

Supposedly in my family tree exists a Knights Templar called Palmer, but H, I like your parallel.
