Mari:
On Edward IV "contemporary Writers agreed that he was self-indulgent to a fault, discriminating in wine and food and if Mancini and Commynes are to be believed a threat to all Men's Wives and Daughters. Ross describes him as tall, fair and cool with a natural optimism and a cheery self-confidence that brought many a Woman, but left him vulnerable to aristocratic intrigue. He was well educated in romantic French chivalry and the realties of estate management."
The Historical Journal XVIII,  Edward IV by Charles Ross, London, Eyre Methuen, 1974
