The Scottish historian, Robert Balmain Mowat (1883-1941) writes that these wars saw 'the death of the old England and the beginning of the new.' But they also saw the emergence of great personalities: the noble Richard of York, Warwick the Kingmaker, King Edward IV, indolent and energetic by turns, and his relentless opponent, Margaret of Anjou, a true she-wolf of France.
