  Richard, Duke of Gloucester and the North (Richard III)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Gloucester's concentration of resources in the north occurred because he wanted it and was prepared to pay for it, not because he could count on the sustained and open-handed support of his royal brother.
Richard's concentration of power made him dominant not just on his estates and their immediate environs; it made him a weighty figure throughout the West Riding, where his retainers dominated the commission of the peace, and at county level too, where they were frequently sheriffs.
Gloucester was more powerful with the lords as retainers, as his agents in their own country, than as rivals, and they in turn drew on his patronage.

 Richard III
Richard was a man of his times and there is no reason to suppose that he was very different from anyone else in the execution of power.
Richard had spent several of his formative years under the care and tutelage of his mother’s cousin, Richard Neville, the Earl of Warwick ('Warwick the Kingmaker') at Middleham castle in the Yorkshire Dales, a home he would have shared with Warwick’s daughter, Lady Anne, 4 years his junior, whom he later married.
Richard was grateful for Buckingham's assistance and to shrewd to thwart such a powerful and ambitious man. Buckingham joined Richard for a while in Gloucester before riding on to his castle at Brecon in Wales, where John Morton, Bishop of Ely, and Richard's implacable enemy, was under house arrest.
