When people, who had known Richard III in life and would have seen evidence but obviously hadn’t, wrote subsequently that he suffered from kyphosis, not scoliosis, their statements are best described as lies, as shown by the evidence found in Leicester almost a dozen years ago. When Henry VII re-legitimated his wife and thus… Continue reading Another word for it …

THOMAS GREY MARQUESS OF DORSET – MEDIOCRE AND SHIFTY OR GOOD AND PRUDENT MAN?
Reblogged from A Medieval Potpourri @sparkypus.com Arms of Thomas Grey, Marquess of Dorset (c.1455-1501). Wikipdia. Well, well, well.

A member of the voracious Wydeville/Woodville family he lived through the tumult of the Wars of the Roses, at one time ending up in a bit… Continue reading THOMAS GREY MARQUESS OF DORSET – MEDIOCRE AND SHIFTY OR GOOD AND PRUDENT MAN?

Another problem for traditionalists is those famous bones in Westminster Abbey. First, they are by no means the only bones to have been found in the Tower. Not by a long chalk. To give but one example (1) in 1965 a complete skeleton of a youth aged 13-16 was found quite close to where the… Continue reading 10 feet deep
Some very selective criticism and rumour-mongering about Richard III….
Two articles have come to my attention. They are both by The Conversation editor Jo Adetunji and both are set upon regurgitating old evidence written by the enemies of Richard III. The first (illustrated above), written July 27, 2021, is here. Hmmm. This is an extract:- “….But I’ve discovered that the names More gives… Continue reading Some very selective criticism and rumour-mongering about Richard III….
The Links That Bind – Reappraisals – Richard III, Edward V, the Herald’s Memoir, Coldridge/John Evans, Sir Henry Bodrugan, Thomas Grey and Gleaston Castle.
REBLOGGED FROM A MEDIEVAL POTPOURRI @ sparkypus.com Could these images in Coldridge Church be of the same man? A young Edward V, an adult man whose face appears to show injury/disfigurement around the mouth/chin area and the face of the John Evans effigy which also seems to have a scarred chin? It was way… Continue reading The Links That Bind – Reappraisals – Richard III, Edward V, the Herald’s Memoir, Coldridge/John Evans, Sir Henry Bodrugan, Thomas Grey and Gleaston Castle.
Lies and modern myths versus the damning of Richard III….
At first glance you’d think this article by Peter Hitchens of the Mail Online is going to be in praise of Tony Blair, especially when you also see the above photograph. But the former Prime Minister only comes into it to illustrate how at least one modern myth sprang up. The article goes on the… Continue reading Lies and modern myths versus the damning of Richard III….

Buc
Here it is at last, a publication sponsored by the Society of Antiquaries and the Richard III Society. Over forty years after his last edition of Buc‘s magnum opus, Arthur Kincaid has managed to remove the “wrapping paper” added by the author’s less painstaking great-nephew and namesake so that only the original remains. Through the… Continue reading Buc
A film review that praises the real Richard III….
There have been a lot (and I mean a LOT) of reviews of The Lost King, and since its release in the US they have redoubled. There’s a dearth of poor reviews, and rightly so. This link is to a very favourable one and I have picked it out because of what it says about… Continue reading A film review that praises the real Richard III….
