“Princes”, “Tudor” propaganda, Anne St. Leger, Annette Carson, bigamy, Brittany, Buckingham rebellion, Constable of England, Council of the North, Daily Mail, de la Poles, Dominic Sandbrook, Edward II, Edward IV, Edward of Warwick, Elizabeth of York, Elvis Presley, executions, Henry of Buckingham, Henry VII, James Gairdner, Kathryn Warner, Lady Margaret Beaufort, Leicester, Margaret of Salisbury, mtDNA evidence, rescue plot, Robert Stillington, Royal Progress, same-sex marriage, Stoke Field, Thomas Lord Stanley, Thomas More, Three Estates, Titulus Regius

Here is the Mail article in question, by Dominic Sandbrook. He has now abandoned More as a source and the superficial coincidence of some bones being found within a quarter of a mile of More’s location – never mind that More’s priest is said to have buried the “Princes” below a thirteenth century staircase, let…
If Edward IV didn’t dispose of Henry Holand, 3rd Duke of Exeter, who did….?

1475 invasion of France, Anne Holland, Anne of Exeter, Anne St. Leger, attainder, Barnet, Coldharbour, deaths at sea, Edward IV, Edward of Lancaster, exile, Fotheringhay, Henry Holland Duke of Exeter, Henry VI, Lord High Admiral, Louis XI, Margaret d’Anjou, mtDNA, Picquigny, Richard of Warwick, Scotland, Sir Thomas St. Leger, St. Stephen’s Westminster, Tower of London, Towton, Wakefield, Wenceslaus Holler

I must state from the outset that I could not find any contemporary likenesses of Henry Holand, so the above is of him as played by an actor unknown to me. The life of Henry Holand, 3rd Duke of Exeter has never been of particular interest to me, but I did think that he was…

“Princes”, Anne St. Leger, Burgundy, Cecilia, Edward of Warwick, Elizabeth of York, family, Geoffrey Wheeler, Henry VII, John Earl of Lincoln, John of Gloucester, Margaret of Salisbury, Richard III, Sheriff Hutton, Sir Thomas St. Leger

As I understand it, Richard sent his nieces Elizabeth and Cicely/Cecily to Sheriff Hutton before Bosworth, in the care of John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln, who was then Richard’s successor as Lord of the North. Lincoln may have stayed there, because there is no proof that he fought alongside Richard. It is also…

For those of you who do not know, I am very fond of Dartington Hall. I read all I can about it, and its history, originally because of an intention to write about its creator, the first Holand Duke of Exeter, but now because I just plain love the place as well. These Holand Dukes…

Originally posted on RICARDIAN LOONS: Lady on Horseback, mid-15th c., British Museum Dartington Hall, near Totnes in Devon and just southeast of Dartmoor National Park, represents a uniquely British form of historical contradiction. It is both medieval, having parts of a Grade I-listed late 14th century manor house, and modern, being the current home of…
