| Video Discription | All battles have consequences, and this talk will suggest that some of those linked to Mortimer’s Cross did not appear fully until decades later. During the most intensive period of the Wars of the Roses, between Blore Heath in September 1459 and Towton in March 1461, the cycle of violence and vengeance moved so quickly that the longer-term consequences of specific battles are often difficult to trace. At Mortimer's Cross, the impact of the victory of the local forces of Edward, duke of York and earl of March, over Welsh and mercenary troops led by Jasper Tudor, earl of Pembroke, en route to the north, might seem overshadowed by Edward’s triumph at the massive battle of Towton just under two months later. Yet there were divisions of loyalty in the marcher counties which did reflect the wider problems of the country. In discussing the battle, this talk will also explore how some of those issues became dormant as the earl of March’s people enjoyed the rewards of Yorkist kingship during Edward IV’s reign. It was not until the deposition of Edward V and, more directly, the arrival of Tudor power, that many of the grudges buried since Mortimer’s Cross re-emerged into the local political picture. The return of Jasper Tudor’s presence in the region and the delicate attempt to transfer Mortimer loyalties to Arthur, Prince of Wales in the 1490s, reveal much about how Henry VII, just like his dead Yorkist father-in-law Edward IV, valued his connections with the Welsh Marches. Dr Sean Cunningham is Head of Medieval Records at The National Archives. He has written widely on late medieval government, politics and society and is especially interested in how England was ruled in relation to the rest of the British Isles and Europe, c1460-1530. He is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society and co-convenor of the Late Medieval Seminar at the Institute of Historical Research in London. Sean has written books on Henry VII and on Prince Arthur and most recently published an essay on how the training of Edward V at Ludlow, when he was Prince of Wales in the 1470s, was a blueprint for the first Tudor Prince of Wales, Arthur, after he moved to live in the region from the mid-1490s. Sean is currently researching lawlessness and violence on the marches in the first months of Henry VII’s reign and their link to a conspiracy in the royal household in 1487. O_tsejwdOd0 |
