The author of this article Extours to cover Perkin Warbeck and more in Taunton Ghost Walk | Somerset County Gazette expresses surprise that so few people seem to know who Perkin Warbeck was. Come now, as far as today’s schools are concerned there was no history before WWI! I’d be surprised if many of them…

The theory about Coldridge is not my original thought, nor have I done anything personally to help prove it.

Salon Privé, a magazine with interesting articles about some of “our” historic figures….
“Princes”, Arthur “Tudor”, Cecily Neville, Edward of Lancaster, executions, Geoffrey Plantagenet, George Duke of Clarence, Henry VIII, Isabel Neville, Jane Shore, Jasper “Tudor”, Lord Bonville, Margaret of Anjou, Richard III, Richard of Shrewsbury, Salon Prive, Sir Thomas Kyriell, Tewkesbury, Wars of the Roses, Westminster AbbeyA new (to me) magazine has come to my attention. Salon Privé Magazine was founded in 2008 and very definitely “coffee table material”. Anyway, the publication came to my attention when an article about George of Clarence popped into my inbox.

Richard III is third, Edward V is second….

The attack isn’t open, but hidden behind the deceptive cloak of dark suggestion. Some might say, having read the article, that Richard’s short reign was poetic justice. More sensible folk, being acquainted with the…
