The exam paper examines the Wars of the Roses (1450–1471), focusing on political instability and power struggles in England. Section A evaluates the causes of the 1450 crisis, analyzing legal charges against Sir William Oldhall and the failures of the Lancastrian regime, including accusations of corruption, treason, and mismanagement. Section B explores Richard of York's position in 1456 compared to 1453 and assesses whether Yorkist successes in 1460–1461 were primarily due to Lancastrian mistakes. The questions highlight governance, factionalism, and the interplay of leadership and error during a critical era in English history.
