Description
John Wenlock, first Lord Wenlock, was a leading diplomat, courtier and soldier during the Wars of the Roses. His remarkable career offers a fascinating insight into one of the most turbulent periods in English medieval history. Wenlock's life was marked by his service to several royal households, including those of Henry VI, Margaret of Anjou and Edward IV. As a diplomat, he led multiple embassies to Burgundy and France, while also being closely connected with other notable figures of the age. However, Wenlock's true specialty lay on the battlefield, where he took part in many raids, skirmishes and sieges, including three major battles. Alexander Brondarbit's biography sheds new light on Wenlock's motivations and throws fresh light on a man who has been labelled a 'Prince of Turncoats' due to his frequent changes of allegiance.
