Section A
Answer Question 01.
Source A
From a letter to Pope Pius II from papal legate Francesco Coppini, 1 June 1461. Coppini
supported the Yorkists whilst he was in London, April–November 1461.
King Edward has not yet made himself supreme over the whole kingdom or reduced it to
peace, because King Henry is with the Scots, with his wife and son and the Duke of
Somerset and Lord Roos. In Scotland they announced that they have married Henry’s son
to the daughter of the late King of Scots and sister of the present, little King. They have
received, from the same Henry, the town of Berwick. Hence it is suggested that the Scots
5
are about to invade with Henry, Margaret and their son to recover the realm. And it is
thought, due to the ancient alliance between the Scots and the French, that the French will
also assist by land and sea.
Source B
From the Crowland Chronicle’s Second Continuation, written in Lincolnshire, 1486. This is
believed to have been written by a member of Edward IV’s council.
Following King Edward’s victory at Towton there were sieges of castles in Northumberland
and various clashes on the Scottish borders. These clashes were between the remnants
of Henry’s forces and Lord Montagu, John Neville, lately created Earl of Northumberland
for his services, as well as other faithful followers of King Edward. Fortunes varied but
most frequently they ended in the greater glory of King Edward. In all this raiding and
5
conflict many nobles on Henry’s side were routed and slain, such as Henry, Duke of
Somerset, Lord Hungerford and Lord Roos and distinguished knights such as Ralph Grey
and Ralph Percy. These nobles were routed and slain by the prowess of the Earl of
Northumberland.
0 1 With reference to these sources and your understanding of the historical context, which
of these two sources is more valuable in explaining the extent of the Lancastrian threat
to Edward IV after the Battle of Towton?
