In 1475 he was sent to France with an invading army,
and a treaty of peace followed.
He swore allegiance to Edward's eldest son,
but was on bad terms with the queen.
After the king's death,
Gloucester (later Richard III),
failing to bring him to agree with his plans,
charged him with treason at a council held in the Tower,
and he was taken out and beheaded at once.
Shakespeare dramatized Sir Thomas More's account of this in
"Richard III".
