Here, he is immersed in knights' training, and along with his friend Francis Lovell, the boys yearn for their first experience of battle. Richard is thrilled to discover they are to ride with the Yorkist army, to Hexham, where they expect to meet Lancastrian opposition. How close can they get to their first blooding for the Yorkist cause, as the Wars of the Roses rages around them?
