Thanks go to the team at Amberley, particularly Jonathan and Nicola for their continuing support and promotion. I have also been particularly lucky to have made some wonderfully helpful and knowledgeable friends online who have generously shared their thoughts and time with me, in particular the members of my Edward IV discussion group. Thanks also to all my family, to my husband Tom for his love and support; also the Hunts, for Sue’s generosity and John’s local knowledge and continual supply of interesting and unusual books. Most of all, this book is for my mother for her invaluable proofreading skills and for my father for his empathy and enthusiasm. This is the result of the books they read me, the museums they took me to as a child and the love and imagination with which they encouraged me.
