Richard of Gloucester as Protector and Constable

Description

For a few crucial weeks Richard of Gloucester combined in his person two offices whose significance has been consistently misunderstood and overlooked. In Part I this study traces their origins and development, and in Part II examines the principal events during his protectorate in the context of both offices, viewed from the perspective of 15th-century precedent rather than 16th-century hindsight. Price is inclusive of UK postage.
