The third Plantagenet : George, Duke of Clarence, Richard III's brother

Ashdown-Hill, John2014
Books, Manuscripts
Less well-known than his brothers, Edward IV and Richard III, little has been written about George, Duke of Clarence and we are faced with a series of questions. Where was he born? What was he really like? Was it his unpredictable behaviour that set him against his brother Edward IV? George played a central role in the Wars of the Roses played out by his brothers. But was he for York or Lancaster? John Ashdown-Hill exposes the myths surrounding this pivotal and central Plantagenet, with remarkable results.
