DEDICATION
This work is dedicated to Lewis and Charlotte, my children, and my wife Sarah, without whose support, encouragement and input it would never have been completed. (It must be a unique experience to be a fifteenth-century war widow in the twentieth century.) Also to the memory of Richard Brooke and Alfred Burne, two historians to whom we should all be grateful.
