Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, to Cecily, King’s Mother

Written from Paris

To my most conscientious aunt,

I assure you that although I value Louis’ offers of recompense – and what ambitious man would not? – my loyalties lie wholeheartedly with my cousin Edward and this kingdom.

I have worked hard for this alliance. I will take pride in its completion. I do not deny that I have a love of finery, of display and personal grandeur. It behoves an English magnate, of old and illustrious lineage, to advertise his power and prestige, particularly when negotiating with European Princes. I doubt you will disagree with me here.

I am no threat to your son’s authority as King of England.

Warwick
