About this book
Grisly Grisell, Or, The Laidly Lady of Whitburn: A Tale of the Wars of the Roses, is by Charlotte M. Yonge. The contents list names chapters called, among others, An Explosion, The Broken Match and The Mirror. The text explains that the Earl of Salisbury was Richard Nevil, one of the large family of Nevil of Raby Castle in Westmoreland. The text says Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, being descended from Lionel, Duke of Clarence, was considered to have a better right to the throne than the house of Lancaster.
The text says Grisell's feeling was by this time concentrated in the one hope that she should be dutiful to the poor, unwilling bridegroom, far more to be pitied than herself. The text describes the darkness as more dense than ever, furious hail heard without, and a great blue flash of intense light filling every corner of the church. The text lists, among others, a body of gay green archers and heralds and pursuivants, one for each of the Duke's domains.
