'Richard, Duke of Gloucester' by Graham Turner
Richard, Duke of Gloucester, at Middleham Castle
Following the death of the Earl of Warwick at the battle of Barnet in 1471,
Richard, Duke of Gloucester, was granted the Lordship of Middleham in Yorkshire.
He had spent many formative years there as a boy, in the care of Warwick, and it
is generally accepted that he preferred Middleham to his other castles. In 1472
he married Warwick's youngest daughter, Anne Neville, and their only son, Edward,
was born in the castle in c.1473.
Graham Turner's painting is set around 1480 and shows Richard being greeted by
his retainers as he enters the great hall at Middleham, accompanied by Anne and
Edward.
