Laurence Olivier’s Richard was bad enough with his false nose and dragging leg.

Talkst thou to me of dragging legs? Off with her head!

Rest in peace.

"Her marriage was dissolved and she is survived by a son and a daughter."

Must've been married to a Tudor...

Richard III by an unknown artist.

[Miss Marple]

I highly recommend the book "The Daughter of Time" by Josephine Tey. In it, through the musings of a police detective recovering from an injury, she dissects the case against Richard III and pretty much proves that he is the victim of Tudor revisionism.

Upon the death of Richard III, the eventual heirs were the Tudors. That was the culmination of the War of the Roses, in which the York forces wore the white rose, which York claims as its symbol to this day. Shakespeare, of course, was writing for the Tudors, so he wasn't about to make Richard III a hero.

Dorothy Mitchell has done history a great service. I would invite you to consider that unless we stand up for him, it is quite likely that future generations will be taught that George W. Bush was our nation's Richard III. The left currently holds both publishing and academe.

Count me among those who consider Richard III to be England's last legitimate monarch. The Stuarts? Nah.
