Tyrants – Part 3
“Princes”, “Tudors”, Battle of Bosworth, double standards, Edward IV, Edward of Warwick, evidence, executions, extravagance, francis of assissi, Gandhi, Henry IV, Henry VII, Henry VIII, Idi Amin, Luftwaffe, Parliament, Putin, Richard III, Tewkesbury Abbey, Three Estates, Titulus Regius, tyranny, YorkshireIn some ways, it is surprising that Edward IV is not usually denounced by historians as a ‘tyrant‘. He had, after all, a key qualification, as he was neither a Lancastrian nor a Tudor. Edward also summarily executed the Earl of Oxford and his son after a brief ‘trial’ before the Constable. And some of…

The revelations of her new research came after I’d written this tale, which although…

Dealing With Richard’s Critics.
“Tudors”, Anne of Gloucester, Annette Carson, Archbishop Plunkett, Battle of Bosworth, Earl Marshal, Earl of Wiltshire, Earls of Oxford, Edward IV, Edward of Warwick, executions, Henry IV, Henry VI, Henry VII, Herberts, high treason, Humphrey of Gloucester, impartiality, Lady Margaret Beaufort, Parliament, Richard II, Richard III, Richard of Warwick, usurpation, WydevillesGoing in to bat for Richard III on Facebook, or other places, can be quite an experience. First of all, any positive source you quote, say for example Annette Carson, is almost invariably rejected as biased. (Of course, all the anti-Richard texts are balanced and impartial, right?)

The theory about Coldridge is not my original thought, nor have I done anything personally to help prove it. To my knowledge there is nowhere called Oakhanger in Kent, let alone that it was held by the Earl of Lincoln. I…

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…

The story of Lambert Simnel is well-known, of course, but here is a podcast about him. It begins with adverts and they reappear during the narration, but the programme itself is interesting. Lambert is stated, categorically, to be the son of an Oxford carpenter. He is also described as being trained to be Edward…
