Obviously, you are very familiar with the story. Are you a member of the Society?
He hated Edward’s court. He especially disliked his annoying brother-in-law, Tony Woodville, who had control of the two nephews and who led the coup against him when he was Lord Protector.
Yes, and isn’t it interesting that Richard was left Lord Protector and not one of the Woodvilles? Edward knew who he could trust.
I was never a member of the Society although at the time they did have a Long Island chapter. I was impressed with some of their work though. In 1985, the 500th anniversary of his death, the British chapter (Yorkshire, I think), had a re-enactment of the Battle and a formal funeral for Richard.
It reminds me of the line, “where do I go to get my reputation back?” Well, Richard. you have some very dedicated people working on your behalf. It says something about the man that he is still thought of 500+ years later.
In 500 years will anyone still be talking about the Windsors? I doubt it.
