Just finished reading a book about Edward I. Quite instructive.
A couple or so of the Plantagenet kings were buried in France.
Richard the Lionheart, among them, I believe.
He and his wife Eleanor of Castile are supposed to be my 19th great-grandparents.
When Edward IV died, we all know that Richard, Duke of Gloucester had Edward's son's named "bastards" so they wouldn't be in line to the throne. George, 1st Duke of Clarence, (next in line to the throne after Edward), had been locked away, found guilty of treason, and he was done away with in 1478. So why did Richard take the throne, instead of pursuing it for Teddy, who would have been next in line after his father George? There are plenty of people who don't think Richard murdered his nephews, but I'm not one of them. I believe he did have them killed, but no one has ever answered the question as to why he didn't pursue the crown for Teddy? Richard's only legitimate son Edward lived to be 10 years of age, dying in 1484, a year after Edward IV died.
