If people can support Hillary Clinton, I suppose they can embrace Richard III ...

And I confess that much of my distaste for Richard Threesticks comes from Shakespeare, who, writing for a largely Lancastrian audience, would have naturally shunned the Yorkist.

But come on ... Murdering his own nephews ...?

It’s pretty obvious you really don’t know a lot about this history. When you provide me with the evidence of the death of these boys, I’ll talk with you.

Shakespeare’s audience was Tudor, neither Lancastrian or Yorkist although, of course, there were some people of waning Lancastrian descent within the royal family. Henry the 7th and Henry the 8th murdered all of the Plantagenet family (the Yorkists) with the exception of Henry the 7th’s wife. She croaked early during childbirth.
