However, the English barons refused financial support for the Sicilian wars, and the title was withdrawn (1258). Later Edmund fought for his brother, Edward I, in Wales and Gascony.

In this gracefully written, and meticulously researched study, R. L. Storey, professor of history at the University of Nottingham, has a strong thesis: that the struggle for royal power between the houses of York and Lancaster, most simply drawn in the War of the Roses, had little to do with the legitimacy of dynastic claims. It was rather the end result of ineffective, narrow royal administration in economic, judicial and military affairs on the part of Henry VI, and the consequent fragmentation and embitterment of various baronial claims. This is by no means the whole story, and Professor Storey very carefully surveys the steps from Henry VI's accession to the throne as an infant in 1422 to the choosing of Edward IV in 1461.
