The second Angevin dynasty, known also as the house of Capet-Anjou, began with Charles, made count (from 1360 the family were dukes) of the western French province of Anjou by his elder brother king Louis IX of France in 1246; they were members of the French ruling house of Capet.
This House of Anjou included the branches of Anjou-Hungary, which ruled Hungary (1308–1395) and Poland (1370–1399); Anjou-Taranto, which ruled the remnants of the Latin Empire (1313–1374); and Anjou-Durazzo, which ruled Naples (1382–1435) and Hungary (1385–1386).

The Wars of the Roses, as they came to be called, were an internecine conflict between two branches of the House of Plantagenet : York and Lancaster, fought over a period of 30 years, to restore and maintain the rightful succession of the senior branch - York - to the throne of England.
They also provided a bloody platform for the settling of deadly rivalries between two other great houses which, like the Plantagenets, were closely related by blood, and whose irreconcilable enmity and unquenchable thirst for power provided as much driving force for the Wars as did the struggle for the crown between the main participants.
The rebellion was over, the House of Lancaster was firmly established on England's throne, and Ralph Neville, and his House, were equally firmly entrenched in the favour of the King he had twice aided at critical junctures.
