Interesting that the only one where a majority have it wrong is the Hundred Years' War. I wonder if the idea that the French never win wars is quite widespread... despite the fact that they are one of the (many) countries to have at some point more or less conquered continental Europe.

Richard III was the last of the house of York to be King. His defeat by the Lancastrian supporter Henry Tudor ended the Wars of the Roses with a defeat for the Yorkists. How do you twist this into a win for York?

This has come up on a few quizzes around here, and the error is frequently pointed out in the comments, but I haven't seen it corrected nor have I seen anyone make a case for the claim that the Yorkists won.
