Duke Richard of York 1411-1460 (Oxford Historical Monographs) - Softcover
This first biography of Richard, third duke of York, is a case study of the political opposition of a great lord to the regime of Henry VI. Focusing on the increasing isolation of a once loyal subject, the book includes the first evaluation of Richard's two effective periods as Protector of England, and presents fresh evidence on the events surrounding the War of the Roses and Richard's unsuccessful claim to the throne in 1460.

About the Author:
"Johnson has given us a model of a controlled study of an important but laconic and elusive figure...[An] excellent study."--Albion
"A useful addition to the literature of late medieval government and advances our knowledge of the political career of this central figure in mid-fifteenth century English history."--Sixteenth Century Journal
"Johnson has carefully examined the records for details of Richard's life, especially of his active and influential political career...and has offered a judicious and clearly written synopsis of his research. The portrayal of Duke Richard is persuasive, and merits the close attention of scholars."--CHOICE
P. A. Johnson, Deputy Headmaster, Rossall School, Fleetwood, Lancs..
