Thank you! Honestly it didn't take me as long as some of my other dolls have, the only issue I had was my browser closed half way through and I had to start all over again, which was annoying. Plus I take alot of breaks while making dolls which makes it seem like it doesn't take all that long.

Thank you! 
I certainly do think some royal Houses interests more then others, to me it doesn't come down to who's flawless or who's better, I'm interested in good monarchs and good rulers. Almost all of them have a certain amount of blood on their hands though.They're certainly those who I think are worse, I despise Henry VIII who I think was a horrible monarch. But I am quite fond Catherine of Aragon and Katherine Howard. 
But back to the War of the Roses. Overall I prefer the House of York, they honestly just interest me more, I think the Nevilles are quite an interesting house from this era as well, and it's odd how closely tied they were to the Yorks and how that fell apart. 

That being said the wars were never about who was good or bad, it was just about political ambition. Richard Duke of York saw that Henry VI was unfit to rule and attempted to overthrow him, the way Henry IV had Richard II. Henry IV honestly opened up a can of worms by overthrowing Richard II. Once Richard Duke of York started up the war there was little he could do but finish it. When he died Edward IV was honor bounded to continue it and to avenge his father's death. Then you have a woman like Margaret of Anjou who was kinda doing the same thing as Edward IV was, she was protecting her husband and her son's inheritance. She had Richard Duke of York demanding to take her son's position as the future King of England. What choice did she really have but to ensure that threat was gone? 

At the end of the day, there was no side which was right, each of them had grievances against the other, each of them thought what they were doing was right.  It's the same later with Richard III and Henry VII. Henry VII had the choice to spend the rest of his life worried about Richard III attempting to kill him if he didn't make an attempt for the throne. Richard III had to get rid of any threat to his legitimacy as king. 

There really isn't any winners in this war. In the end both the House of York and the House of Lancaster were gone they were both destroyed in these wars and only the Tudors remained, and they were really just a mix of bastard royal blood. Honestly it was a war that cost England a great deal and was just a brutal war which caused the deaths of too many people. I don't think I could choose one side or another, I only think that some historical figures are more interesting to me than others. Which is just a personal preference.
