North-eastern England During the Wars of Roses: Lay Society, War, and Politics, 1450-1500For a brief period in the late fifteenth century, the North was the dominant region in England: it was both the adopted home and the base of power of Richard III. In this study Pollard analyzes the regional politics of this area and the interrelationship between province and center from the beginning of the Neville-Percy feud in the 1450s to the establishment of Tudor authority by 1500. Covering such topics as Anglo-Scottish relations, local government, the structure of landed society, the wealth, power, and outlook of lords and gentry, and the economy of the region, Pollard offers a first-rate history of lay society at the end of the middle ages. |
