Pretty gud.

Reading Huizinga convinced me that the late XV century was an age of horrible, depressing decay rather than of rebirth and optimism that came from Renaissance.

Wars of the Roses are over by 1472. There'd been 10 years of relative peace after Towton except for Lancastrian holdouts in the North.
