Taking its name from the 15th century Wars of the Roses where York were represented by the white rose the White Rose Varsity Tournament is a sports competition between the two York-based universities in the UK; University of York and York St John University.
 Started in 2005 by AU-president Stuart Leslie of the University of York and his counterpart from the then York St John College, it is hoped to be continued as an annual event.
Wars of the Roses
The Wars of the Roses were a series of wars for control of the throne of England fought between supporters of two rival branches of the royal House of Plantagenet: the House of Lancaster (associated with a red rose), and the House of York (whose symbol was a white rose).
 The conflict lasted through many sporadic episodes between 1455 and 1487; however, there was fighting before and after this period between the houses.
 The power struggle ignited around social and financial troubles following the Hundred Years' War, combined with the mental infirmity and weak rule of Henry VI which revived interest in Richard of York's claim to the throne.
 Historians disagree about whether the Wars of the Roses were caused by the structural problems of feudalism or Henry VI's ineffectiveness as king.
List of Dog Days episodes
Dog Days is a 2011 Japanese fantasy anime television series created by Masaki Tsuzuki.
 The series revolves around Shinku Izumi, a cheerful and athletic half-Japanese, half-English boy studying at Kinokawa International School in Japan who is suddenly summoned to the alternate world of Flonyard.
 The people there look no different from humans, except for one thing; they have animal ears and tails.
 The one who summoned him is Millhiore, the dog-like Princess of the Biscotti Republic, who requested his assistance in their war against the forces of the feline-like Galette Lion Dominion.
 The wars in Flonyard differ from the ones on Earth, and are waged with special rules and no casualties in a fashion similar to a sports competition with the purpose to raise funds for the Kingdoms involved, where the winner faction claims a larger sum than the losing side.
