Summary: "Warwick, the Kingmaker" by Charles Oman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and significance of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, also known as the Kingmaker, an influential figure during the tumultuous Wars of the Roses in England. The narrative seeks to illuminate Warwick's role, his familial ties, and the political dynamics that shaped this critical period in English history. The opening of the book sets the stage by highlighting the obscurity and under-recognition of Warwick’s contributions, contrasting him with contemporaries like Henry the Fifth and Richard the Third. It discusses the context of the 15th century, marked by the decline of the Lancastrian rule and the rising tensions leading to civil strife. The text emphasizes the political environment, the costs of the French wars, and the moral decay that plagued the baronage, all while introducing Warwick's background and the challenges he faced in gaining recognition and influence amidst a chaotic political landscape.
