    Notes:

    Death by malmsey

    "The king certainly led the prosecution of his brother. Edward may, however, have later repented: he had to be pushed into proceeding with Clarence's execution; he provided for an expensive funeral, monument, and chantry foundation at Tewkesbury Abbey; and he is alleged to have bewailed Clarence's death. One modern study regards Clarence's death as a judicial murder organized by the family of the queen, who persuaded King Edward to participate against his better judgement. If the queen really regarded Clarence as a threat to the succession of her son, certainly his removal substantially strengthened the king's authority over his greater subjects, as the Crowland continuator alleged.

    "There is no doubt that Clarence was executed for treason in the Tower of London on 18 February 1478. It appears, however, that he was neither hanged nor beheaded, as was normal, but was drowned in a butt of malmsey wine (sweet wine imported from Greece). This strange story occurs in the earliest reports, of Jean de Roye and Mancini, and was evidently known to the Crowland continuator, who declares himself uncertain. No chronicler suggests any other mode of death."

    --Oxford D.N.B. (Michael Hicks)

    Hereditary Title:
    He was created Duke of Clarence at the same time that his younger brother, Richard, was created Duke of Gloucester, which was done "cingendo sibi gladium ac per apposicionem cappe capiti suo." This took place in London on St. Peter's Day (Sunday, 28 June) 1461. (Issue Rolls, Easter 2 Edw. IV, m. 3). He was first summoned to Parliament as Duke of Clarence, 28 Feb. 1466/7. (Vicary Gibbs)
