Notes - Duke of York. Often called "Richard Plantagenet," a surname which he actually used on occasion in his own lifetime, something not done by any other Plantagenet. Killed in the Battle of Wakefield.
"[T]he most powerful subject in England, heir of the Mortimer claim to the crown, king's lieutenant in Normandy and Ireland, self-interest mingled in him with a love of justice and desire for administrative reform, he claimed the throne but was defeated and slain in battle." [The Ancestry of Charles II, King of England (citation details below)]
Noted in a footnote on page 69 of The Ancestry of Charles II, King of England (citation details below): "Nearly every source has his date of birth as 21 September. However, CP 14:642 includes a correction to CP 12(2):905, that changes the date of birth to 22 September. Johnson, Duke Richard of York, 1 n. 1, has 22 September, noting that it was on the feast of St. Maurice."
