About this book
The Wars of the Roses, with the subtitle Or, Stories of the Struggle of York and Lancaster, is by John G. Edgar. The inscription gives the book as a book for boys, offered to Master David M'Dowall Hannay with earnest prayers for his welfare by his godfather, the author. The text says that in 1424, on the death of Edmund, last of the Earls of March, the young Plantagenet succeeded to the feudal power of the house of Mortimer.
The text says that when York returned to England, the queen, not relishing a rival so near the throne, determined to send him out of the way. The text says that Vauclerc, however, had his consolation, and must have chuckled as he reflected on the prudence he had exercised. The text says that Richmond, surrounded by his guard, left his main body and rode forward to encourage the men under Oxford and Stanley.
