The north of England in the 1400s was dominated by two great noble families. They were the Percies of Northumberland and the Nevilles of Middleham and Raby. 

These two important families were often at war and in opposition. Their family feud had a national impact. It played a big part in the events that led to the Wars of the Roses.
