king's favour and continued to serve with See also:honour in subordinate positions in France. He also distinguished himself at jousts in See also:London (See also:Chronicles of London, 146, 148). On the 9th of May 1448 Henry VI. created him See also:Baron Rivers. His associations made him a strong Lancastrian. For some years he was See also:lieutenant of See also:Calais in Henry's interests.

time to fight for Henry VI. at See also:Towton. See also:Early in the reign of See also:Edward IV. Rivers recognized that the Lancastrian cause was lost and made his See also:peace with the new king. The See also:marriage of his eldest daughter, See also:Elizabeth,. widow of Sir John See also:Grey of Groby, to Edward on the 1st of May 1464, secured the fortunes of his family. Rivers was appointed treasurer on the 4th of See also:March 1466, and a little later created earl. Elizabeth found See also:great affiances for her younger See also:brothers and sisters, and the See also:Wood -ville See also:influence became all-powerful at See also:court. The See also:power of this new family was very distasteful to the old baronial party, and especially so to Warwick. Early in 1468 Rivers's estates were plundered by Warwick's partisans, and the open See also:war of the following See also:year was aimed to destroy the Woodvilles. After the king's defeat at Edgecot, Rivers and his second son, John, were taken prisoners at See also:Chepstow and executed at See also:Kenilworth on the 12th of See also:August 1469.
