North-Eastern England during the Wars of the Roses - Pollard, A. J. (Reader in Local History, Reader in Local History, Teesside Polytechnic)

This is a study of north-eastern England during the Wars of the Roses. As the adopted home and power base of Richard III, the North briefly dominated England in the late 15th century. The author sets political history in the context of the period, and paints a detailed portrait of lay society, based on intensive research among local records.
