Edward IV by Keith Dockray
Edward IV (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 the arduous day-to-day businsess of government? Or was he, rarther, a wise and successful monarch who laid the foundations for over a century of Tudor rule? This documentary study presents contmporary and near-contemporary sources for Edward IV and his reign, enabling the reader to appreciate why the king's reputation has fluctuated so markedly.-
