[17] When Margaret Plantagenet was married to Charles the Rash,
Caxton accompanied that royal lady to her new home, and, while
in her service in Flanders, learned the art of printing. Having
returned to England, and been presented by Anthony Woodville
to Edward of York, he, under the king's protection, set up his
printing-press in the Almonry at Westminster.
[18] After a long and cruel captivity, Warwick was, in 1499, executed
on Tower Hill, "for no other offense," says Dugdale, "than being
the only male Plantagenet at that time living, and consequently
the most rightful heir to the throne." Fuller, in his _Worthies
of England_, says that "Henry, being of a new lineage and
surname, knew full well how the nation hankered after the name
of Plantagenet; which, as it did outsyllable Tudor in the
mouths, so did it outvie it in the hearts of the English."
