Epigraph

Dedication

First words

Introduction (quoting Edward Hall) -- What misery, what murder and what execrable plagues this famous region hath suffered by the division and dissension of the renowned houses of Lancaster and York, my wit cannot comprehend nor any tongue declare, nor yet my pen fully set forth.

Introduction -- In these words the Tudor historian and publicist, Edward Hall, writing in 1548, set for the peculiar horror which sixteenth-century Englishmen felt for civil strife.
