The War of the Roses is a play cycle by William Shakespeare consisting of the history plays Richard II, Henry IV, Part 1, Henry IV, Part 2, Henry V, Henry VI, Part 1, Henry VI, Part 2, Henry VI, Part 3, and Richard III and the comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor, which shares characters but not plot with the history cycle.

The cycle has been filmed three times, first for the 1960 UK minseries "An Age of Kings" directed by Michael Hayes, later for the 1965 UK miniseries "The Wars of the Roses" directed by John Barton and Peter Hall, as a filming directly from the stage of the English Shakespeare Company's production directed by Michael Bogdanov and Michael Pennington. It is also the basis for the film Chimes at Midnight
directed by Orson Welles.
