I'm sure the usual members of the Ricardian Societies [and those who quote their preposterous defenses of this vile scumbag] will be showing up shortly.

LOL! Does such a society even exist?
I'm with Hillary on this one. 'At this point, what difference does it make?'

At the end of the day, it matters not what man's history says about you, it matters what the LORD says about you at the end (all yearning to hear from His lips: "...well done, good and faithful servant...")

Read the thread. They're baaaaaaaaaaaaack...

Here are three of the Ricardian Societies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardian_(Richard_III)

I routinely get into it with a New York City FReeper who even has a tagline defending Richard the Usurper's claim that he murdered his opposition, including little children, because of his "duty."

Their "research" into his "innocence" consists almost entirely of a 65 year old historical crime novel called The Daughter of Time. It gets a number of important facts wrong. Most seriously, it claims that all of the rumors of the Princes [his nephews] murdered by Richard were started by the Tudors as propaganda to cover their own crimes. This is preposterously false. There were contemporaneous rumors of Richard's murder of his nephews years before the Tudor propagandists started on Richard. All Richard need ever have done to dispel them was produce the children alive. He never did, because he had already had them murdered.

But hey, it's all they've got.
