That's great, I'll take a look at that. I may well take a drive down to Bosworth on the 22nd. I've been many times and never tire of the place. I truly think our country would have been just as fine a place, if not even better if Richard had won. Here in York, even after all this time, he's not forgotten. Go to the Kings Head pub down by the river and which king stares down at you from the pub sign? Clue...it aint Henry Tudor and there certainly isn't a Henry Tudor museum here either, unlike Richard who has one in the gatehouse of the city walls.

 

Thanks for the info Amber

 

I once read somewhere that Queen Elizabeth The First was the best of the Tudors because she had the good grace to die childless and free us from the whole pack of them!!! Ouch!

Yeah, matches the rest of the family then doesn't it, lol. Actually I'm currently reading Paul Murray Kendall's biography of Warwick The Kingmaker. Though I'm a staunch Yorkist, it's hard not to feel sympathy for Warwick who was ill used by Edward at times. How different history would have been if Edward had taken Warwick's advice about the Woodvilles.

Are those of us in GB watching David Starkey's Monarchy ? He believes Richard III murdered his nephews.

I think he is a good presenter but the available evidence points to him being wrong on this. A crime that could have done Richard no good, only harm and for which he was never accused by Tudor. My money is on Buckingham for what it's worth.
