Edward Duke of York with Salisbury and Warwick en route to Calais
I "discovered" some excellent images from the Typological life and genealogy of Edward IV, an English produced illustrated manuscript from c1470, via a History Today article on Kingship during the WoRs.
Its great to see some different contemporaneous images than the ones that are usually used by most books and articles on the WoRs, with some good armour, tents and civilian high-end clothing, as well as the history of Edward's rise to power including the parhelion at Mortimer's Cross, depicted.
