| Summary: | There are two primary sources for the dramatic series of events that followed the death of Edward IV of England on 7 April 1483. One is the account, going only as far as the coronation of Richard III on 6 July, written in December by Dominic Mancini. The other concludes the anonymous memoir of the Yorkist period from 1459 to 22 August 1485, incorporated in the chronicles of Crowland Abbey. Both were written in retrospect and in Mancini's case from information chiefly provided by others, since he probably knew no English. Both accounts are hostile to Richard. Those who maintain that they malign the king tend to explain their animus as due, respectively, to foreign prejudice and to a deliberate campaign of denigration that began immediately upon the accession of Henry Tudor. |
