Lord Scales, later Earl Rivers obtained a grant of the Castle and rights of Lordship in 1467. In consequence of his sister having married Edward IV, he shared in all the vicissitudes which befell the King, and became governor of Calais and captain-general of the king's forces. He was also made governor of Prince Edward, and chief butler of England. AFT the death of Edward IV in 1483, Anthony appeared to be standing in the way of the ambitious Duke of Gloucester. The Earl assembled a body of troops, with the intention of crowning his nephew; but his design was defeated by the machinations of the Duke of Gloucester, afterwards Richard III, who caused the gallant nobleman to be beheaded, without trial, in the castle of Pontefract, Jun, 1483.
