1 In the days of the Roses, France was still a sort of semi-detached part of England, a country much less foreign to an Englishman than Ireland was. A fifteenth century Englishman went to France as a matter of course, but to Ireland only under protest.
2 He lay and thought about that England. The England over which the Wars of the Roses had been fought. A green, green England, with not a chimney-stack from Cumberland to Cornwall. An England still unhedged, with great forests alive with game, and wide marshes thick with wildfowl. An England with the same small group of dwellings repeated every few miles in endless permutation., castle, church, and cottages; monastery, church, and cottages; manor, church, and cottages. The strips of cultivation round the cluster of dwellings, and beyond that the greenness. The unbroken greenness. The deep rutted lanes that ran from group to group, mired to bog in the winter and white with dust in the summer; decorated with wild roses or red wit hawthorn as the seasons came and went.
3 For thirty years, over this green uncrowded land, the Wars of the Roses had been fought. But it had been more of a blood feud than a war. A Montague and Capulet affair, of no great concern to the average Englishman. No one pushed in at your door to demand whether you were York or Lancaster and to hale you off to a concentration camp if your answer proved to be the wrong one for the occasion. It was a small concentrated war, almost a private party. They fought a battle in your lower meadow, and turned your kitchen into a dressing-station, and then moved off somewhere or other to fight a battle somewhere else, and a few weeks later you would have a family row about the result because your wife was probably Lancaster and you were perhaps York, and it was all rather like following rival football teams today.
