I think it was Richard, not Henry that bumped off the Little Princes. Richard was a the kind of thug that Hilliary would be proud of.

Here's an interesting piece of Brit history. I read in a book entitled "The History of England" published in the 1860's. It states that Longshank's son, Edward II got in a lot of trouble with a Spencer and Parliament made a law that no Spencer should ever be King. This is Lady Di's line. It sounds like legally William or Henry can't inherit the throne. May get interesting.

Whoops! Change Henry for Richard and Richard for Henry in my last post. Henry was the bad guy. I think the Tudors were a nasty lot.

It's wayyyy past my bedtime. Nighty-night. Thanks for taking over the ping list

It was Henry, not Richard. But as they say, the winners write the histories. Henry was a usurper. So, for that matter, was William the Conqueror, a.k.a. the Bastard.
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent
