George, duke of Clarence
George Plantagenêt (October 21st 1449, Dublin - February 18th 1478), Count de Salisbury and 1st Duke of Clarence, was the third wire of Richard Plantagenêt, 3rd Duc of York and Cécile Neville.
It was born with Dublin, at the time where the Guerre began from the Two-Pinks which was to divide the Family of Plantagenêt in two rival camps coveting the Crown of England: Lancaster and York.
George is made Duc of Clarence in 1461, at the time of the accession to the throne of her older brother, Edouard IV, first king of the Maison of York. The July 11th 1469, it marries Isabelle Neville, girl of the Richard Neville, Count de Warwick, the Faiseur of kings .
Initially, it was combined with his father-in-law, in favor of the cause of the king deposited who was Henri VI. It joined it in France but quickly realized that the count de Warwick acted for his own account and that of his daughter junior, Anne, married to Edouard, prince de Galles, heir to Henri VI and thus to the Crown of England, and this with depends on his.
It thus changed camp after the last effort of restoration of Henri VI on the Throne had proven to be a defeat in which the count de Warwick lost the life. It was allocated to the court, where it returned in grace and found in his younger brother, Richard, duke of Gloucester (future Richard III) a skilful rival. This one had married Anne Neville, widow of Prince de Galles, had assassinated by the faction of York, and disputed the possession of Neville to the duke of Clarence. This one was imprisoned with the Tower of London for plot against his/her brother, the king Edouard IV, where it was carried out the February 18th 1478.
One tells that it was carried out by drowning in a wine barrel of malvoisy, which must raise of the popular ragot, being given the reputation of heavy drinker whose the duke profited from Clarence. Nevertheless, when the body which one admitted to be it his was exhumed, one found no trace of decapitation, means of execution traditionally used for the noble ones and the people of royal blood.
His Isabelle wife died in 1476, leaving her sister, Anne Neville, to deal with her two children, Marguerite and Edouard.
William Shakespeare, celebrates it English playwright, reveals the duke of Clarence in his part entitled Richard III as being victim of a treason on behalf of his/her Richard brother, duke of Gloucester, which succeeds in making it imprison for a fictitious plot, in order to be able to get rid some by assassinating it and to open the way towards the Throne of England. The prince appears naive, almost simple there of spirit with respect to his brother.
