So Zulu you think VII or his nutty mom and not poor Gloucester the maligned?

I just read a lot on it

The recent Thames production on Thomas Cromwell was really good

And the Starz series on Woodville ditto

[cardinal4]

The Starz series on the Woodvilles was excellent. So, for that matter, was the Tudors. Both followed the history fairly well..

Absolutely!!! Gloucester was a warrior who almost cut down the usurper on the field of battle. Harry Tudor was a vile politician on the make and would have died at Bosworth like the foul traitor knave he was if Richard had not been betrayed!!!

I didn’t even know there was a program on the Woodvilles. Not my favorite family. I always loved Richard’s brilliant disarming and arrest of the annoying poet-poseur of the family, Anthony, at Stony Stratford. Tony brought thousands of soldiers to Richard’s 400 while his nephew swiped the treasury and decamped to Flanders. Within something like an hour, Gloucester had secured Edward, locked up his would-be assassins, and frightened his awful sister-in-law into sanctuary.

Then the story of Elizabeth Talbot would surface through Bishop Stillington and the rest is history.
