Excerpt from The King's Council in the NorthIt remains only to add an acknowledgement of gratitude to those who have in any way helped me to the Marquis of Salisbury and to the Corporations of York and Hull for giving me access to the documents in their possession to Mr. Hall and his colleagues at the Record Office for directing my attention to possible sources of information, to Professor Pollard for still more valuable, but also more intangible, assistance, to Mr. Staton for the care he bestow ed on the map, and to my sister for much patient help with the drudgery that goes to the making of a book. But the greatest debt of all, that which I owe to my Mother for the encouragement without which this book would never have been written, can now be paid only to a memory.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
