In 1460, Richard, Duke of York ended a decade of spiralling relations with the English crown by laying claim to the throne himself. He did so not as the heir of the House of York, but as the heir of his mother’s family, the House of Mortimer. York began his family’s long and close relationship with Ireland, serving as Lord Lieutenant but arriving there as Earl of Ulster. What impact did York have during his time in Ireland? Why did he return there as his problems grew in 1459? And what influence did York’s Irish experiences as the Mortimer heir have on him and his political career? Matt Lewis will explore the Irish connection of the man dubbed King by Right.
