Who were the English Monarchs during the War of the Roses? And the Hundred Years War?

During the wars of the roses, was it just Edward IV, Edward V, and Richard III? My teacher said there were four or five of them.

And for the hundred years war was it just Richard III, Henry IV, Henry V, and Henry VI?

We have to do a time line of the English monarchs from William the Conqueror to Oliver Cromwell (supposed to be 23 monarchs)and we can't include the Wars of the Roses Monarchs or hundred years war monarchs.

The point is to explain how England went or an absolute monarch to a constitutional one. Any hints on that? :) I guess I could look at what each one did during his or her rule and see if anything helps to change the monarchy.

"An example of a system that changed from an absolute to constitutional monarchy is England, with the signing of the Magna Carta, which Britannia.com describes as, “The Great Charter of English liberty granted (under considerable duress) by King John at Runnymede on June 15, 1215.” It is basically a document wherein the King, rather reluctantly, agreed to rule within a set of guidelines decided on by the English Barons who wrote it. It was a result of perceptions of the king as abusive and a failure at both domestic and international policymaking. It was also a result of conflicts between the Catholic Church and the Church of England, which disagreed about the role of the king. The abovementioned Barons took London by force (actually, the people opened the gates for them) and forced the king to sign the document. It had to be resigned because John died a year later, and nine-year-old Henry III took the throne. Henry reissued it himself again when he turned 18."

During the War of the Roses, which took place in the 15th century, there were indeed more English monarchs than just Edward IV, Edward V, and Richard III. The War of the Roses was a series of conflicts between two rival branches of the English royal family, the House of Lancaster and the House of York. It spanned several decades and involved various claimants to the throne.

The English monarchs during the War of the Roses were:

1. Henry VI (Lancaster)
2. Edward IV (York)
3. Edward V (York)
4. Richard III (York)

So, in total, there were four monarchs during this period.

Regarding the Hundred Years War, it was a prolonged conflict between England and France from 1337 to 1453. The English monarchs during the Hundred Years War were:

1. Edward III
2. Richard II
3. Henry IV
4. Henry V
5. Henry VI

So, there were five monarchs during the Hundred Years War.

Now, regarding your timeline of English monarchs from William the Conqueror to Oliver Cromwell, it seems you want to exclude the monarchs who were involved in the Wars of the Roses and the Hundred Years War. For this purpose, it would be best to focus on the monarchs who reigned between these two periods.

To help you with creating a timeline and understanding the transition from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional one, here are some key points to consider:

1. Magna Carta (1215): This document, signed by King John, limited the power of the monarchy and established certain rights for nobles and freemen. Although it did not immediately lead to a constitutional monarchy, it laid the foundation for the development of parliamentary power.

2. Act of Settlement (1701): This act determined the line of succession to the British throne, excluding Catholics and prioritizing Protestant monarchs. It further restricted the powers of the monarchy and established the role of Parliament in matters of succession.

3. English Civil War (1642-1651): This conflict between Parliamentarians (led by Oliver Cromwell) and Royalists (supporting King Charles I) resulted in the defeat and execution of Charles I, leading to the temporary abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of the Commonwealth under Cromwell's rule.

4. Glorious Revolution (1688): This event saw the overthrow of King James II and the installation of William III and Mary II as joint monarchs. They accepted a Bill of Rights that further limited the powers of the monarchy and affirmed the supremacy of Parliament.

By examining the actions and consequences of these events and the reigns of the corresponding monarchs, you can observe the gradual shift of power from the monarchy to Parliament, leading to the establishment of a more constitutional monarchy in England.
