Richard Beauchamp deserves to be better known by everyone interested in either the 100 years war or the “Wars of the Roses” or indeed the C15 generally. and this book is an excellent introduction to his life and times. It will also be of interest to students of the History of Art & Architecture with particular reference to the Beauchamp chantry in Warwick.

Richard Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick KG (25 or 28 January 1382 – 30 April 1439) was an English medieval nobleman and military commander.

He was knighted at the coronation of King Henry IV, and succeeded as Earl of Warwick in 1401.
