Who would you have chosen to support?

Coming from an old Kirkham family it would definitely be Lancaster. All hail to the Red Rose Crown!

Depends on the decade. I would have supported Bolingbroke and Monmouth. And then under Henry VI I would have supported York, and stayed that way through Richard III. After Henry Tudor's victory, being a pragmatist, I would have kept my Ricardian sentiments to myself.

But then, I have the advantage of 20/20 hindsight.

Well, as I'd back the White Roses seeing as I come from Yorkshire. And York is England's favourite city.

Being a very practical sort of fellow, I would have said "God save the King!" to whichever head the crown was sitting on on any given day.

I would wear an outfit which says....'I'm for team York' on one side and on the opposite 'I'm for team Lancaster'....

..Eerrr but then again perhaps I'd be shot twice from both sides!

I have always had a soft spot for Richard III.

I've always supported the Yorkists . Maybe it also due to the fact that Edward the Fourth appeared to be more charismatic than poor Henry the VI.

I'd probably be either figuring out Simnel's or Warbeck's game to get a piece of my own action OR (more likely) one of those smartassed Pythonian peasants discussing reasonable systems of government over my hoe in the muddy field, sneering a lot.

Not sure, but I lean towards York.
