One thought on “The Peerage, 1450-1459

  1. I am a rank beginner at the Wars of the Roses, so please forgive me if I am barking up the wrong tree. Should it be Anne Beauchamp, 16th Countess of Warwick, making Richard Neville 16th Earl of Warwick jure uxoris? Lady Anne Beauchamp being the sister of Henry Beauchamp, 14th E. of Warwick, (first husband of Cecily Neville,) and the aunt of his daughter Anne Beauchamp, 15th Countess of Warwick suo jure…. I have been reading Alison Weir’s “Lancaster and York” and your information is a boon!
