I have to say that the headline of this link Royal Family: The young English king who just wouldn’t stop eating and died | Royal | News | Express.co.uk had me frowning. Did we have a young English king who ate himself to death? Good Lord, thought I, don’t tell me that’s what happened to…

Oh dear, now we have controversy bubbling about another king under a car park. We know that Philippa Langley is pursuing the possibility that Henry I lies under the car park of the former Reading Gaol (which itself stood on the site of Reading Abbey, where Henry I was buried at the high altar). It’s…

It’s always good to learn of the indomitable efforts of Ricardian warriors around the world. Here’s an article from Canada about Clement Carelse and Christine Hurlbut, members of the King Richard III Society of Canada, who are carrying the White Boar standards on their side of the Atlantic.
