I know you, too, are an admirer of Richard the Third - a man who insisted that bail be brought to the English people, who insisted that laws be posted in appropriate places and be in ENGLISH rather than Latin and who died because the barons loathed him for his love of ordinary people. Brought up disenfranchised and poverty-striken, he learned to admire the peasants and the middle class. Once appointed Lord of the North, he ruled Yorkshire and dealt with mundane issues unknown-ed to hereditary kings. His people came to love and revere him.

Those same barons and aristocrats proceeded to malign him for centuries after his sad downfall.

Elizabeth left all that behind and ruled as a great queen. She had her faults but she was a Yorkist prince through and through. Blood will tell!

All factually correct and I can’t add anything at all to it. Well said!
