Topical Index |Browse Contents of Each Section

Please note: The contents of this section were created from 1992-1994. The authors are now in the process of updating them.

The Back to Basics section originally appeared in the Ricardian Bulletin, the newsletter of the Richard III Society, from June 1992 - June 1994. Created by Research Officer Peter Hammond, with contributions from other members, it offers background, major events, and principal players associated with that period of English history of most interest to Ricardians -- the Wars of the Roses, the fall of the House of Lancaster and rise of the House of York, and the life, times, and reign of Richard III.


Using Back to Basics
The contents of the nine separate Back to Basics sections are displayed as a topical index and as a list of contents for each section. Students may want to download each of the nine files for further study. As stated above, Back to Basics is the work of members of the parent society, and the 'Society Library' referred to is the property of that entity. U.S. members are advised to check with the American Branch Research Librarian as to the availability of the books and articles cited. Where applicable, particular references are linked to documents available in our Online Library, such as The Arrivall of Edward IV, The Second Continuation of the Croyland Chronicle, pertinent sections of Vergil's Anglica Historia, or The Warkworth Chronicle, for example.
