Interesting theory by Josephine Tey about Richard III and the disappearance of the princes in the tower, his nephews: if Richard had had them killed, all he would have to do is produce the same smothered bodies: poor boys, dead of a fever, I really am king now.
Whereas, when Henry VII comes in with his army, he really should restore the elder prince to the throne, or produce a body, dead some time back. But he can’t do that; the princes disappear for good, and he marries their sister, and adds the boys’ murder to Richard’s indictment.
Imagine Shakespeare casting you as a villain. What a way to be remembered.
I read an 1880s wine travelogue through Champagne and other sparkling wine regions (off Gutenberg), and it mentioned the Platagenets being buried 20 miles away or so.
In the heart of Protestant France, too, iirc.
Different King Richard. Richard III was found buried under a parking lot in England. Richard I, Richard the Lion Heart, lived about 300 years earlier and is buried in Fontevraud Abbey in Anjou, France.
