The story

During the War of the Roses, Sir Richard Shelton returns home to Tunstall Castle in Yorkshire, and discovers that his father, Sir Harry Shelton, has been murdered. Richard's uncle and Harry's half-brother, Sir Daniel Brackley, claims that Sir John Sedley, a Lancastrian and Harry's former friend, murdered him over tribal grudges, and that Sedley was executed in response, and his lands were seized for Brackley's expanding kingdom on behalf of the House of York. Three of Brackley's trusted associates - Nick Appleyard, Bennet Hatch, and Sir Oliver Oates - all back up Brackley's story.
