This isn't with surprise I tell you George Plantagenet and Richard Plantagenet, King Edward IV's brothers have been titled as Dukes on the first day of this month. The first one was made George Duke of Clarence and the youngest, Richard Duke of Gloucester. This is great new that now they are both an excellent part of the english nobility who need to be married. As King Edward IV!
They received some proposals but no one could say what will hapen to this. Then at the age of twelve years old - he was born the 21st October 1449-, George could stay at Westminster palace with the king.
However, Richard Duke of Gloucester is too young and Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, called The Kingmaker, kept him at Middleham Castle. He studies the kinghtly conduct, he learns latin, French, law, mathematics, penmanship, music, horsemanship and military training. Moreover, Warwick teachs him to pratice with sword, dagger and battle-axe, and how to manage a hawk and to hunt. He'll become the most cultivated man of England my Dear Readers... Then he spends his time at Middleham with Warwick's daughters; Isabel and Anne Neville, and Francis Lovell, one of the boy Warwick has in charge.

Then Lord Hasting assured : "Actually, Edward is King of England and to give these titles to his brothers, this is a huge consideration and I do not doubt they will be forever faith to him. He is their brother." and Cecily Neville, the king's mother added : " I rememeber when they were young and now they grew up and they're Dukes. I am proud of them, this was God's wishes, and by the God' sake they are blessed."
