April 28, 1442, Rouen, France-d. April 9, 1483 Westminster, England), king of England from 1461 until October 1470 and again from April 1471 until his death in 1483. He was a leading participant in the Yorkist-Lancastrian conflict known as the Wars of the Roses. Edward was the eldest surviving son of Richard, duke of York, by Cicely, daughter of Ralph Neville, earl of Westmoreland. His father was descended from two sons of the 14-century king Edward III and, in 1450's, led a revolt against Henry VI; in 1460, Richard's supporters declared him Henry's successor. When his father was killed in December of that year, Edward gathered an army in Wales and defeated Henry's supporters (called Lancastrians because of Henry's descent from John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster). Edward was crowned as King Edward IV in London on June 28, 1461. EDWARD'S STRUGGLE WITH WARWICK..........Edward at this time showed little promise, apparently caring only for fighting, drinking, women, and pageantry. He owed his throne largely to his cousin Richard Neville, earl of Warwick, who was in the first years of Edward's reign the most powerful man in England. Warwick crushed Lancastrian resistance in the far north of England between 1462 and 1464 and conducted England's diplomacy. Edward, however, was winning many friends (especially in London) by his comeliness and charm and was determined to assert his independence. On May 1, 1464, he secretly married a young widow, Elizabeth Woodville, of no great rank, offending Warwick and other Yorkist nobles who were planning to marry him to a French princess. By showering favours on Elizabeth's two sons by her first husband and on her five brothers and her seven sister, Edward began to build up a group of magnates who would be a counterpoise to the Nevilles. Gradually Warwick lost all influence at court, and when he was negotiating an al liance with France, Edward humiliated him by revealing that he had already concluded an alliance (1467) with France's enemy Burgundy. Edward's sister, Margaret was married in July 1468 with great pomp to Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy, and the brothers-in-law planned a joint invasion of France. Warwick, in a countermove encouraged by Louis XI of France, seized Edward and made him a prisoner in July 1469. But Edward had my now too many supporters (especially in London) for him to be kept tutelage for long. he regained his freedom in October, Warwick fled to France, allied himself with the Lancastrians and with Louis, and invaded England in September 1470. Surprised, Edward fled with a few faithful supporters to the Netherlands in October. Aided by Charles of Burgundy, he and his brother, Richard, duke of Gloucester, returned to England in March 1471. Taking London, he defeated and killed Warwick at Barnet on April 14. On the same day, Queen Margaret (Henry VI's wife) belatedly landed in Dorset from France with her only son, Edward, prince of Wales. Her advisers hoped to gain Lancastrian support in Wales, and it became a race for the time between Edward IV's forces and hers as to whether she could get there before he overtook her. At Tewkesbury, after some remarkable forced marches (one of more than 40 miles at a stretch), he caught up with her army on May 4. There he won another crushing victory. Nearly all the remaining Lancastrian leaders were killed on the field or executed afterward, and , after murdering Henry (May 21-22) and repelling an attack on London, Edward was secure for the remainder of his life. THE SECOND HALF OF EDWARD'S REIGN........He was now able to revive the project of an invasion of France in concert with the Duke of Burgundy. He made great preparations in 1474 and obtained a large grant from Parliament. In 1475 he invaded France with the largest army, it was said, that head ever left England, but he found the Duke of Burgundy v er ill-prepared and the French formidable and willing to buy him out. Hence the treaty of Picquigny was made by which Edward agreed to withdraw from France in return for 75,000 gold crowns down and a pension of 50,000 gold crowns a year. These sums helped to free Edward from dependence on parliamentary grants. As he grew older, he showd considerable ingenuity in raising money by reviving obsolescent rights an d using doubtfully legal devices. Commercial treaties with France (1475), Burgundy (1468), and the Hanseatic League (1474) combined with external peace and growing internal order to revive trade strikingly after 1475, and this benefited the customs duties and other revenues. Edward became a trader himself, transporting goods in his own ships and those of foreign merchants. He began a reorganization of the revenues from the crown estates, experimenting with methods of improving yields and promoting more efficient auditing under officials of the flexible royal household treasure instead of the unadaptable Exchequer. These and other measures enabled him to leave behind a fortune; some of his improved financial administration was continued and developed by his successors Richard III and Henry VII. The last decade of Edward's reign also saw an improvement in law enforcement. One especially disturbed area was Wales and the Welsh marches; Edward used the royal estates there as a foundation on which to base a council that acted in the name of his infant heir, the Prince of Wales, and employed the royal prerogative to make a start in repressing disorder. it was the forerunner of the council of Wales and the marches that subjugated the area to English rule. Modern research has emphasized these administrative achievements of Edward IV, and contemporary and Tudor historian viewed his later years as a time of prosperity and success. He rebuilt St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and collected illuminated Flemish manuscripts. he was also a friend and patron of the printe r William Caxton, and his book collection became the foundation of the Old Royal Library, later one of the glories of the British Museum. Edward's promiscuity enabled Richard of Gloucester, after his death, to question the validity of his marriage and so to ruin his sons. As a young man Edward had been trustful and openhanded, but his experiences made him increasingly suspicious, leading him in 1478 to execute his brother George, duke of Clarence, who in former years had sided with Warwick against him. In 1482, Louis XI, in order to come to terms with the rulers of Burgundy, tacitly repudiated the Treaty of Picquigny and the annual tribute that it provided. Edward contemplated a fresh invasion a fresh invasion of France, but before it could be carried out he fell ill and died at the age of only 40. By Elizabeth Woodville he had seven children who survived him: two son, Edward (afterward Edward V) and Richard, duke of York, who were probably murdered in the Tower of London in August 1483, and five daughters, of whom the eldest Elizabeth, married Henry VII. HOUSE OF YORK........younger branch of the house of Plantagenet (q.v.) of England. In the 15th century, having usurped the throne form the house of Lancaster (q.v.), it provided three kings of England-Edward IV, Edward V, and Richard III-and, in turn defeated, passed on its claims to the Tudor dynasty. The house was founded by King Edward III's fifth son, Edmund of Langley (1341-1402), 1st Duke of York, had for the most part undistinguished careers. Edward, dying childless, passed on the dukedom to his nephew Richard (whose mother was a descendant of Edward III's second surviving son, Lionel, Duke of Clarence). Richard, 3rd Duke of York (1411-60), was the initial Yorkist claimant to the crown, in opposition to the Lancastrian Henry VI. It may be said that his claim, when it was advanced, was rightly barred by prescription, the house of Lancaster having then occupied the throne for three generations, and that it was really owing to the misgovernment of Queen Margaret of Anjou and her favorites that it was advanced at all. Yet it was founded upon strict principles of lineal descent, for the 3rd Duke of York was descended from Lionel, Duke of Clarence, the second surviving son of Edward III, whereas the house of Lancaster came of John of Gaunt, a younger brother of Lionel. One thing that might possibly have been considered an element of weakness in Richard's claim was that it was derived through females-an objection actually brought against it by Chief Justice John Fortescue. But apart from strict legality, Richard's claim was probably supported in the popular view by the fact that he was descended from Edward III through his father no less than through his mother. After seeking for many years to correct the weakness of Henry VI's government, Richard first took up arms and at length claimed the crown in Parliament as his right. The Lords, or those who did not purposely stay away from the House, admitted that his claim was unimpeachable but suggested as a compromise that Henry should retain the crown for life and that Richard and his heirs succeed after his death. This was accepted by Richard, and an act to that effect received Henry's own assent. But the act was repudiated by Margaret of Anjou and her followers, and Richard was slain at Wakefield fighting against them. In little more than two months, however, his son was proclaimed king at London by the title of Edward IV, and the bloody victory of Towton immediately after drove his enemies into exile and paved the way for his coronation. After his recovery of the throne in 1471, Edward IV had little more to fear from the rivalry of the house of Lancaster. But the seeds of distrust had already been sown among the members of his own family, and in 1478 his brother Clarence was put to death-secretly, indeed, within the Tower of London, but still by his authority and that of Parliament-as tr. | |

| Marriage | 8 August 1503 | He and Margaret Tudor were married on 8 August 1503 at Holyrood Abbey (just north of Holyrood)G in Edinburgh, Midlothian County, Scotland (Medieval), EuropeG. |
| Death | 9 September 1513 | He died on 9 September 1513 at age 40 at Flodden Battle FieldG in Branxton, Northumberland County, England (Tudor), EuropeG. As the King of Scots, the Lord of Cunningham and as Earl of Carrick, Duke of Ross and Rothesay and Prince of Scotland, James was killed in Tudor England (at the age of 40) on Tuesday, September 9th, 1513 in the Battle of Flodden, a military combat in the War of the League of Cambrai between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland, where an English victory made him the last monarch from the British Isles to die in battle The battle was fought in Branxton in the county of Northumberland in Northern England between the invading Scots army under King James IV and an English army, commanded by the Earl of Surrey; in terms of troop numbers, it was the largest battle fought between the two kingdoms Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Flodden He was killed in the Battle of Flodden Field. Scottish troops were again defeated by the English in 1542 When Henry invaded France in 1513, James decided, against the counsel of his advisers, to aid his ally by advancing into England. He captured four castles in northern England in August 1513, but his army was disastrously defeated at the Battle of Flodden, near Branxton, on Sept. 9, 1513. The king was killed while fighting on foot, and most of his nobles perished James left one legitimate child, his successor, James V (ruled 1513-42); in addition, he had many illegitimate children, several of whom became prominent figures Crowned on 26 June 1488 at Scone Abbey, Perthshire, Scotland |

| Note | James succeeded to the throne after his father, James III, was killed in a battle against rebels on June 11, 1488 where the 15-year-old monarch immediately began to take an active part in government He extended his authority to the sparsely populated areas of western and northern Scotland and by 1493 had humbled the last lord of the Isles Although his reign was internally peaceful, it was disturbed by wars with England. Breaking a truce with England in 1495, James prepared an invasion in support of Perkin Warbeck, a pretender to the English throne. The war was confined to a few border forays, and a seven-year peace was negotiated in December 1497, though border raids continued Relations between England and Scotland were further stabilized in 1503, when James married Margaret Tudor, the eldest daughter of the English king Henry VII; this match resulted, a century later, in the accession of James's great-grandson, the Stuart monarch James VI of Scotland, to the English throne as King James I James IV's growing prestige enabled him to negotiate as an equal with the rulers of continental Europe, but his position was weakened as he came into conflict with King Henry VIII of England (ruled 1509-47) and in 1512 James allied with France against England and the major continental powers ---------------------------------------------------------------- Biography James IV (b.
