As you can see its a bright morning in Berwick, a town on the east coast of England whose river, the Tweed, flows into the North Sea.
At the beginning of February of 1461 my 'ancestor,' Thomas Vaughan, was getting ready to leg it to France with what was called 'York's treasure' but meanwhile Margaret of Anjou was in Scotland, she was preparing to do a deal with the recently widowed Mary of Guelders over Berwick in return for help with her Lancastrian cause.
When all the papers are signed, the border town of Berwick upon Tweed became part of Scotland, and its not until this day, the 24th August in 1482 when Richard, Duke of Gloucester retook the town and returned it to England.
