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.
I’ve been a member of the NYC branch and the Yorkshire branch. I didn’t renew with the Yorkshire branch because I couldn’t get some of the important material that the main branch produced (go figure!) Now, I don’t belong to either one but am on many Ricardian pages on Facebook and even have one of my own.
Yes, Edward knew who he could trust. And it certainly wasn’t his wife’s awful family. His wife conspired to have George, the Duke of Clarence executed. Richard was extremely bitter about that.
