Played Kingmaker tonight and enjoyed playing Beaufort Question which Noble family would you have wanted to be part of during the War of the Roses? Percy Mowbray Neville Beaufort Courtenay Fitzalan Pole Stafford Talbot Stanley Grey Holland Roos Audley Berkeley Bourchier Clifford Cromwell Greystoke Hastings Herbert Howard Scrope Other

Stanleys! I am from Cheshire, so that is a given! I suppose I have lived in Northumberland most of my life, so I should have said Percy, but they always chose the wrong side in any fight, or so it seem to me!
All Sir Garnett	17 Sep 2023 3:04 a.m. PST
Yorkshireman so Scrope or Roos
Dagwood	17 Sep 2023 4:02 a.m. PST
My distant relatives Talbot or Fitzalan.
Martin Rapier	17 Sep 2023 8:20 a.m. PST
Pole, so I could ride with "The Swords of 1000 Men" with Eddy Tudor-Pole.
Deucey	17 Sep 2023 2:24 p.m. PST
If we're basing this on Kingmaker: Percy (100 knights and a cool looking shield)
DisasterWargamer	17 Sep 2023 4:39 p.m. PST
If going past Kingmaker – perhaps Woodville Simnel Warbek Humfrey Stillington Catesby or Shrewsbury
Parzival	17 Sep 2023 6:04 p.m. PST
Family from either Derbyshire, Hampshire, or Surrey— most likely Derbyshire. So whomever the gentility in these regions were with. (Though personally I favor York and Edward IV as having the better claim.)
Archon64	17 Sep 2023 10:30 p.m. PST
The survivors.
forrester	18 Sep 2023 4:32 a.m. PST
Not that one would be given much choice of course. Id say Stanley, as that family were the local bigwigs as Lords of Derby in the area where I grew up, part of their estate is Knowsley Safari Park. Ourlocal school did cross country runs on the estate though not through the bits where the lions lived.

The winning side – changing as required, obviously.
miniMo	18 Sep 2023 2:04 p.m. PST
Stanley — had a knack for changing to the winning side!
Saber6	18 Sep 2023 2:47 p.m. PST
Fitzalan always seems to end up in my hand
John the Red	20 Sep 2023 2:24 p.m. PST
Conyers – the most local to us and someone who appeared to have been loyal to various Kings and to survive and prosper also known locally for killing one of the NE's wyrms Scrope is also not too far away, over in Bolton Castle, so he d be the Kingmaker choice
Arcane Steve	22 Sep 2023 4:13 a.m. PST
I should be part of the Courtenay supporters, originally coming from Devon but they seemed to have the unfortunate ability to be on the wrong side at the wrong time. I now have a tenuous link to Sir John Savage, via my Daughter-in-Law. He's a far more interesting character and no nonsense Soldier! link

The Bourchier family survived the wars, and didn't get killed by Henry VII, so these look good.
