- Richard PLANTAGENET (3? D. York)
Born: 21 Sep 1411
Acceded: 19 May 1426
Died: 30 Dec 1460, battle of Wakefield
Buried: 30 Jul 1476, Collegiate Church of Fotheringhay, Northampton,England / Pontefract
Notes: Knight of the Garter. Protector of England, Earl of March &Ulster, Earl of Cambridge. The first to adopt the surname of Plantagenet.His laying claim to the throne of England led to the War of the Roses.The Complete Peerage v.XIIpII,pp.905-909. Son of Richard, Earl ofCambridge, a noble who had been executed for treason by Henry V ofEngland in 1415, and of Anne Mortimer, who, like her husband, was adirect descendant of Edward III. Richard thus had an excellent claim onthe throne of England, which he began to press in 1448 by assuming thelong-disused surname of Plantagenet. In doing so, he made a directchallenge to the weak Henry VI. In about 1424, he married Cecily Neville,a descendant of John of Gaunt. Having had the attainder against hisfather reversed in 1426, he was himself attainted on 20 Nov 1459. Thismade him all the more determined to achieve the throne for the House ofYork, and he died fighting the Lancastrians at the Battle of Wakefield on30 Dec 1460.
