"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.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This first biography of Richard, third Duke of York, examines the political opposition of a great lord to Henry VI's regime. Active in the government of Lancastrian Normandy, he served twice as lieutenant of Ireland where, on his second visit, he did much to consolidate the trend towards Irish autonomy. The major interest of his career, however, lies in the increasing isolation of a once loyal subject. Suspect in the late 1440s, and even moreso after the great revolt of 1450, he was driven into opposition during the following decade despite serving for two effective periods - here evaluated for the first time - as Protector of England. In1455 violence replaced politics at St Albans, and England collapsed into the Wars of the Roses. Five years later, following his unsuccessful claim to the throne - an event for which fresh evidence is presented - he resorted once again to violence, dying in battle and leaving to his son Edward the claim which brought the first Yorkist to the throne. This first biography of Richard, third Duke of York, examines the political opposition of a great lord to Henry VI's regime. Although at one stage an active member of government, the main interest in his career lies in the increasing isolation of a once loyal subject.
