Haven't commented la...Good morning, Professor.<br /><br />Haven't commented lately - I can no longer read your site via Internet Explorer, and I had to install Google Chrome in order to catch up. But I will have some comments for you over the next few days - you have posted a great deal of considerable interest.<br /><br />Thank you for this excellent post. My introduction to the Ricardian heresy also came through Ms. Tey's wonderful book. But there are of course other historical studies as well, and I don't think it is at all an indefensible position to claim that Richard III was a very good king.<br /><br />The deaths of his wife and only son seem to have rendered him depressed and unable to act with his usual sagacity and courage. Instead of rushing to meet Henry Tudor in the field, Richard should have taken the arsenal of London with him to York, and from there defended his kingdom.<br /><br />Richard's enduring popularity in York is evident in the lynching of Henry Percy. A fitting end, may I say. Punditarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979719360227114238noreply@blogger.com
