Between 1483 and 1485 Viscount Francis Lovell was one of the most
important and influential men in the government of his childhood
friend Richard III, becoming the King's Chamberlain and a Knight of
the Garter. Lovell continued to support a Ricardian claim to the
throne long after Richard III's death at Bosworth, and his elusive
presence cast a dark shadow over the early years of Henry VII's
reign. He became Henry VII's most persistent and dangerous enemy,
orchestrating an assassination attempt on the new king. He was also
architect of an international conspiracy that sought to replace
Henry with a Ricardian pretender known as 'Lambert Simnel', which
culminated in the battle of Stoke in 1487, the last true battle in
the Wars of the Roses. Following Stoke, Lovell disappears from
historical record and his fate is a mystery to this day. The
eighteenth-century discovery at Minster Lovell of the skeletal
remains of a medieval man in a sealed vault possibly reveals the
final resting place of Francis Lovell - the last champion of York.
