Warwick the Kingmaker by Paul Murray Kendall
During the Wars of the Roses, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, exercised more than regal power. It was he who disposed of Henry VI and gained the throne for Edward IV - and nine years later tried to overthrow him. Edward fled to the Continent, but he returned in strength and crushed the Lancastrians. Warwick's death at the Battle of Barnet (or rather fleeing from it) marked the end of an important era in English history. First published in 1957.
Paul Murray Kendall was Professor of English Literature at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. Earlier he held the same Chair at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, where he became a Regents Professor Emeritus. In 1970 he was awarded an Honorary L.H.D. (Doctor of Humane Letters) by Ohio University. He spent several years in Europe while carrying out the research for his books. He was the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, including the Guggenheim. Paul Murray Kendall died in 1973.
