Edward Iv : From Contemporary Chronicles Letters And Records
Paperback Edition: 1
Edward IV (king from 1461-83), so often overshadowed by his younger brother and eventual successor Richard III is a controversial figure in his own right. Was he a lazy and licentious lightweight who much preferred his mistresses to his minsters and had little taste for
