Excerpt from The Master of Game: The Oldest English Book on HuntingEdward iii.'s grandson Edward, second Duke of York, our author will be known to every reader of Shakespeare's Richard for he is no other than the arch traitor Duke of Aumarle, previously Earl of Rutland, who, according to some historians, after having been an accomplice in the murder of his uncle Gloucester, carried in his own hand on a pole the head of his brother-in-law. The student of history, on the other hand, cannot forget that this turbulent Plantagenet was the gallant leader of England's vanguard at Agin court, where he was one of the great nobles who purchased with their lives what was probably the most glorious Victory ever vouchsafed to English arms.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
