Transcribed Image Text:
1445-1461 Source K A monastic chronicler based at St Albans comments on the outbreak of civil war in 1459. The Duke of York, the Earl of Warwick and the Earl of Salisbury conspired together in 1459 against the King. Some people claimed that they had risen against the King because the more powerful members of his council had removed them from their rightful places. Another group said that they had risen mainly for a different reason: so that the Duke of York might sit on the King's throne and rule over his kingdom, and that possession of the throne should be enjoyed by York and his heirs by hereditary succession. Whethamstead's Register, compiled by 1461 What was the significance of the Parliament of Devils? In scattering the Yorkists at Ludford Bridge in October, Margaret of Anjou seemed to have secured for herself a position of tremendous strength. She could have used this power to provide the kind of broad-based government that the majority of the nobility wanted and in many ways she did just that. With the exception of the leaders, many Yorkists including the Duke of Norfolk, John Mowbray, who had become a supporter of York, received a commission. What Margaret was not prepared to do, however, was put aside her desire to destroy York and his heirs. 'Parliament of Devils' is the name given to the Lancastrian-dominated parliament held at Coventry in November 1459. It was at this parliament that the Lancastrians consolidated the victory they had had over the Yorkists at Ludford Bridge. It was nicknamed the Parliament of Devils because of the viciousness and unfairness with which the Yorkist leaders and, importantly, their heirs were treated by the parliament. At the parliament, the Yorkist leaders were attainted (punished by having their lands and titles taken away from them) for treason and sentenced to death. In total, 27 Yorkists, six of whom were peers, were condemned as traitors and had their lands confiscated. The Lancastrians went even further than this: they disinherited their heirs, barring them from succeeding to their estates. The Yorkist lands were then given to loyal subjects of the King. Disinheriting heirs was something new and was considered to be too extreme a punishment even for those found guilty of treason. As far as the vast majority of the nobility were concerned, Margaret of Anjou was going too far and her actions set a precedent which worried them: if she could do this to the Yorkists, she could do the same to others. In York's worst nightmares, he could not have dreamt of a punishment so extreme for not only did it punish him, but it punished his heirs for his actions as well. Source L The Attainder of the Yorkist leaders at Coventry, November 1459 (The Parliament of Devils). Wherefore may it please your highness by the advice and assent of your lords spiritual and temporal and of your commons assembled in this your present parliament, and by the authority of the same to ordain, establish, and enact, that the said Richard Duke of York, Edward Earl of March, Richard Earl of Salisbury, Edmund Earl of Rutland, etc... for their said traitorous levying of war against your said most noble person, at Ludford be declared attainted of high treason, as false traitors and enemies against your most noble person.. The Indictment of Richard Duke of York from the Parliamentary Rolls, 1459 Source M The Lancastrian-dominated Coventry Parliament in November 1459 (the 'Parliament of Devils') draws up treason charges against Richard Duke of York. When Richard was in Ireland as your lieutenant there, Jack Cade, your great traitor, led a large insurrection in Kent in 1450. Some of his supporters, when on the point of death, confessed their true intentions and on whose behalf they had acted. They intended to have raised the Duke of York, against all reason, law and truth, to the crown of England, which God has ordained that you and your successors should bear. Indictment of Richard of York, 1459. ....……... War and the dem Acti Read the to Ca ******** What were the results of Margaret's actions? In taking the extreme step of disinheriting the heirs, Margaret left the Yorkists with nothing to lose. It is likely that at this point York began to see himself not so much as the rightful chief adviser or even the controller of Henry VI, but his replacement. In punishing the Yorkists harshly, Margaret may well have turned York into she had him as: a man was that who was determined to deprive her son of his inheritance. After all, not exactly what she had just done to Edward, Earl of March, York's heir? From York's point of view, he had learned that having control of Henry VI was not enough, not when he was only periodically mentally ill and requiring a protectorate. For when healthy, he had taken back control of government, as was his right as king, and then returned to power those whom York had York being nudged to the periphery once more. How else was replaced, York to regain power and protect his family and supporters if it were not by making himself king? A protectorate could only last as long as the mental illness remained and in Henry VI's case, no one knew how long that would be. The extremeness of Margaret's punishment of the Yorkists appalled not only her victims, but also those members of the nobility who had no strong affiliation one way or the other. These were the men who had held the middle ground between York and Margaret, wanting to see a government ment united behind the King. Many had not wanted to take sides but had been persu been persuaded into the Queen's camp by what they perceived as the disgraceful actions of the Earl of Warwick in refusing to obey direct orders and by the fact that in supporting the Queen they were not going against the King. These men now felt that in breaking the laws of inheritance, Margaret was going too far r and so they now felt more drawn to support York. The harshness of the Parliament of Devils, rather than sealing the destruction of the Yorkist cause, served to resuscitate it. When Warwick, Salisbury and March landed in Kent in June 1460, many of the men of Kent, noblemen included, rose in support of them, and on 2 July the city of London opened its gates to them before they left to meet the King at the battle of Northampton on 10 July 1460. Why had York triumphed by 1460? After the rout at Ludford Bridge in October 1459, it looked as if it was all over for the Duke of York and his allies and yet a year later he was acknowledged heir to the throne of England. How had he been able to turn his fortunes around? Margaret of Anjou Firstly, some of the responsibility for this change in fortune must be given to Queen Margaret and her Parliament of Devils for increasing nobles' sympathy for the Duke of York and alienating the nobility from her own cause with her

the Roses 1445-1461 Activity 1 To what extent do the events of the Loveday support the attitude shown by Margaret and York as reported in Source I? (page 65) 2 Look at Sources G, H and I (page 64-65). Write your own summary of the state of disorder in England and Wales in the years 1455-59. Complete a table like the one below to help you with this task. Source G H I Source details about the state of disorder in England and Wales What can be deduced about the disorder in England and Wales from the source detail Why did peace break down in 1459? In many ways it is surprising that war did not break out before 1459 and that there was such a long period of peace after the Battle of St Albans in 1455. Certainly, it is clear that despite Henry VI's attempt to bring peace and the determination on the part of most of the nobility to work together in support of a government under Henry VI, there was a steady march towards war. A number of factors combined to help create the right circumstances for warfare in 1459. open The Beat ■ The Battle of St Albans had brought about a blood feud as the heirs of those killed at the battle sought vengeance. ■York had made a deadly enemy of Margaret of Anjou who believed he mented the throne wanted the throne and was a danger to her son. H ■ Henry VI was generally too ill to govern in his own right meaning that whoever had control of Henry VI had control of government. Margaret's government saw the removal of Yorkist appointments and their replacement with her own men thus signalling to York that he was back on the outside of government. Manna There was a complete lack of trust between the two sides which saw nobles regularly turning up at meetings complete with armed followers. ■Warwick's rebellion persuaded key figures in the middle ground who felt the Earl had gone too far, such as the Duke of Buckingham, to side with the Queen. The Queen felt that she had enough noble support to destroy the Yorkists. ■York felt that he could once again count absolutely on the military support of the Nevilles to whom it was now clear that they had no place in a government under Margaret. York thought he could defeat the Lancastrians once more. The Flight of the Yorkists The refusal of the Earl of Warwick to obey government orders and the reaction of the Duke of Buckingham to his actions saw the Queen make ready for war and weapons were ordered. In May the King and Queen sent out letters summoning their military forces to Leicester that month and a great council was summoned to meet at Coventry in June 1459. Those who War and the de failed to come were indicted, although there is some confusion as to whether or not York, the Nevilles and the Bourchiers were even invited to attend. They were, however, aware that the Queen was making her move against them (why else was there a need for a call to arms?) and so the Duke of York made plans for a meeting of his own at Ludlow, his castle in the Welsh Marches. In September 1459, Warwick arrived from Calais narrowly escaping capture by Somerset as he made his way to Ludlow but his father, Salisbury, was intercepted at Blore Heath in Staffordshire on 23 September 1459 where he managed to defeat and kill Lord Audley, the leader of the Lancastrian forces. The Yorkists sent a message to the King justifying their actions and listing what they felt was wrong with the kingdom, blaming these ills on his evil advisers. The court responded by offering to pardon all those who laid down their weapons with the exception of those involved in the death of Audley. Lack of trust meant that no one accepted the pardon and so the Lancastrian army advanced on Ludlow. The two sides met at Ludford Bridge on 12 October. It became immediately clear that the Yorkists had failed to garner enough support and were outnumbered three to one. To add to their problems, the Yorkists lost the support of the Calais men who Warwick had brought over with him as they were not prepared to take up arms against the King (who was there) and they switched sides. Nevertheless, the Yorkist guns began their bombardment of the Lancastrian position, but once darkness fell the Yorkist leaders fled into the night leaving all their guns and some of their family behind. York headed for Ireland with his second son, Edmund, while his eldest son, Edward, Earl of March, headed south with the Nevilles and went to Calais. York's two youngest boys were left behind at Ludlow. The Yorkist cause had been left in ruins with Margaret triumphant. on 12 Oct Source J An anonymous chronicler writing shortly after Edward IV had seized the throne in 1461 describes the Battle of Blore Heath, 1459. ............ Richard Earl of Salisbury with 7,000 well-armed men, dreading the malice of his enemies and especially of the queen and her company, which hated him mortally, and the Duke of York, and the Earl of Warwick too, took his way towards Ludlow where the Duke of York was at that time. They could then both ride together to the king at Coleshill in Staffordshire, to clear themselves of certain false accusations regarding their loyalty that had been dienseive be accuse made against them by their enemies. When the king heard of their coming, inst them by their need him to gather a power to withstand those who were with him counselled him to gather a power to thom and in him that that them, and informed him that they came to destroy him. The Queen was then at Eccleshall and at once by her stirring the king assembled a great army led by Lord Audley, which headed for Blore Heath. And there both sides met and fought a deadly battle. Lord Audley was killed as were many of the knights and squires of Cheshire that had fought for the Lancastrians. The Earl Salisbury's two sons, Thomas and John, and Sir Thomas Harrington were captured and imprisoned in the castle of Chester. The Earl went on to Duke Richard at Ludlow, and from Calais came the Earl of Warwick. www.w of Adapted from an English Chronicle, written in the early 1460s. Ac 1 2
