Summary: "The Boke of Noblesse" by John Gough Nichols is a historical treatise written in the late 19th century. The work, presented to King Edward IV, addresses the political motivations underpinning his planned invasion of France in 1475. The book aims to inspire a sense of martial nobility and evoke national pride by recalling England's glorious past and its chivalric heritage, particularly in military conquests. At the start of the treatise, the author acknowledges the transient glory of England’s noble lineage and the urgent need to reclaim lost territories in France. The opening sets the stage for discussions on the nature of true nobility, valor in warfare, and the necessity for English warriors to channel their inner courage akin to historical figures such as King Arthur and Richard the Lionheart. The narrative emphasizes Edward IV’s need for military support amidst ambitions fueled by the duke of Burgundy, thus advocating a spirited approach to regain England's former prestige in European affairs through conquest.
