This article questions the current orthodoxy that the hegemony of the earls of Warwick in the West Midlands collapsed during the minorities of Duke Henry and his daughter Anne in 1439-49 (the Beauchamp Interregnum) and was never successfully reconstructed. Using inquisitions post mortem and other chance surviving records, it demonstrates that the estate remained intact and was run throughout by the duke himself and the custodians and feoffees of his parents. There was no Beauchamp Interregnum. It is also a case study that suggests minorities to be much less disruptive than is commonly thought
