Edmund, Earl of Rutland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edmund, Earl of Rutland (May 17, 1443 – December 31, 1460) was the fifth child and second surviving son of Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York and Cecily Neville. He was born in Rouen.

Edmund was a younger brother of Anne of York and Edward IV of England and an older brother of Elizabeth of York, Margaret of York, George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence and Richard III of England.

He was styled Earl of Rutland. He died at the age of seventeen after the Battle of Wakefield (December 30, 1460) during the Wars of the Roses, executed on the orders of the Lancastrian Lord Clifford, or by some accounts, by Lord Clifford himself. His head was displayed on the gates of York, England, along with those of his father and of his uncle, Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury.

In Shakespeare's play, Henry VI, part 3, Rutland is inaccurately portrayed as a small child who is brutally murdered by Clifford after pleading for his life.
