トマス・マロリー
Timothy J. Lustig has suggested that Thomas Malory, in his "Morte d'Arthur", based his character Gawaine on Buckingham. Lustig suggests that Malory may have viewed the Duke as being "peacemaker and warlord, warrior and judge"—qualities which the writer also ascribed to his Arthurian character. Buckingham appears in Shakespeare's "Henry VI, Part 2" (c. 1591), in which his character conspires in the downfall and disgrace of Eleanor, Duchess of Gloucester.
