James Harrington (Yorkist knight)
Sir James Harrington, KB, MP (d. ?1485) was a prominent supporter of the House of York during the Wars of the Roses, whose family held extensive estates in both Yorkshire and Lancashire.〔Ross, C., ''Richard III'', St. Ives (repr.) 1990, p. 51〕 He was a significant regional figure during the reign of King Edward IV and was in the Household of King Richard III, probably being killed with him at the battle of Bosworth.
==Early years==
Between the late 1450s and 1460s the family had a close relationship with the Nevilles: "The Harrington brothers () feed by Warwick, and their father had been feed by Salisbury."〔Horrox, R., Richard III: A Study in Service, Cambridge 1989, p. 42〕 He was a retainer and Councillor to Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick,〔Ross, C., ''Edward IV'', London 1975, p. 409〕 and had been granted duchy of Lancaster leases by him,〔Hicks, M., ''Warwick the Kingmaker'', Oxford (repr.) 2002, p. 225〕 with his father, Sir Thomas.〔Ross, C., ''Richard III'', St. Ives (repr.) 1990, p. 51〕 He was in the earl of Salisbury's army when it was ambushed by the Lancastrian Lord Audley near Blore Heath, in Shropshire, on 23 September 1459. Although a Yorkist victory, Sir James and his father, along with Warwick's brother John Neville were captured after the battle, at Acton Bridge, and sent to Chester Castle, Harrington was pardoned on 29 March 1460,〔Pollard, A.J., ''North Eastern England During the Wars of the Roses: : Lay Society, War, and Politics 1450–1500'', Oxford 1990. p. 277〕 but the Nevilles were not to be released until the Yorkist victory at the Battle of Northampton in July 1460.〔Hipshon, D., ''Richard III and the Death of Chivalry'', Stroud 2009, p. 41〕 However, with James's elder brother John, Sir Thomas later died with Richard, Duke of York at the battle of Wakefield on 30 December 1460.〔Ross, C., ''Edward IV'', London 1975, p. 408〕 Following the victory of Edward IV at the Battle of Towton on Palm Sunday, 29 April the next year, Sir James was made the King's escheator for Yorkshire. Following his death, Sir Thomas's feoffees transferred his estates, that his daughters were due to inherit, to James in 1463, a decision that would consume the next eleven years and ultimately have grave consequences for James and his family.〔Rosemary Horrox, 'Harrington family (per. c.1300–1512)', Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 (accessed 28 October 2013 )〕 On 13 July 1465 he assisted with the capture of the by-now fugitive Henry VI〔Griffiths, R.A., The Reign of Henry VI, Berkeley 1981, p. 894, ''n''. 18〕 by being the instrument of persuasion that induced Sir Thomas Talbot of Bashall, and Sir Richard Tempest of Bracewell, who were sheltering the King, to betray him.〔Pollard, A.J., ''North Eastern England During the Wars of the Roses: : Lay Society, War, and Politics 1450–1500'', Oxford 1990, p. 302〕 For this he received one hundred marks (£66) for expenses, and a reward of one hundred pounds.〔Scofield, C. L., The Life and Reign of Edward IV (2 vol.), London 1923, p. 384〕
