His first crown was allegedly taken from an effigy of the Virgin Mary.
His first crown was allegedly taken from an effigy of the Virgin Mary. In the battle that saw his downfall, a German mercenary named Martin Schwartz was killed, and late in life, he became a royal falconer after serving loyally as a royal dishwasher. His attempt to grab power resulted in a landing at Piel Island and the battles of Bootham Bar and Doncaster, where his forces were led by John de la Pole, the Earl of Lincoln. Roger Simons educated this man and first presented him as Richard of Shrewsbury, First Duke of York, but later decided he was the Earl of Warwick. For 10 points, name this man who, like Perkin Warbeck, was a pretender to the throne of Henry VII, and who lost the Battle of Stoke Field, ending the Wars of the Roses.
