The failures of the Hundred Years' War between England and France provided ambitious barons in England with an excuse to rid themselves of their talentless king. Henry VI provided no military leadership at all, and his marriage in 1445 CE to Margaret of Anjou (d. 1482 CE), niece of Charles VII of France (r. 1422-1461 CE), which involved the handing...
Richard was ambitious for the throne in the longer term. He did have a legitimate, if distant, claim to it as the great-grandson of Edward III of England (r. 1327-1377 CE) and the nephew of the Earl of March who himself had claimed he was the legitimate heir to Richard II of England (r. 1377-1399 CE).

It was into this complex chess game of thrones that Edward was thrust when he reached maturity. Born on 28 April 1442 CE in Rouen in France, the son of Richard, Duke of York and Cecily Neville, Edward was now 17 and already a capable military leader. Edward of York, Earl of March as he was known prior to becoming king, took an active part in his fa...
A final defeat of Queen Margaret at Hexam in 1464 CE was followed by the capture of Henry VI in Lancashire in July 1465 CE who was imprisoned in the Tower of London.

The king led a large army of around 12,000 men to France, but failing to acquire local support, he instead signed a lucrative peace treaty with Louis XI of France (1461-1483 CE) in March 1475 CE...
Edward IV was rather too fond of his favourite foods and wines as he reached middle age, and he became seriously overweight. The king died, perhaps of a stroke at Westminster on 9 April 1483 CE, aged just 40. He was buried at Windsor Castle and succeeded by his eldest son, Edward, then only 12 years old (b. 1470 CE). The young Edward V of England w...

Jun 23, 2021 · T he 1440s is an important time of transition. In northern Europe it was the last gasp of long houppelandes and horn-shaped headdresses. Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy consolidated his image as the “man in black,” and the women at his court lost their sway-backed, rounded appearance. The fashionable silhouette became sharper and more angular.
