Debatable if it was Richard that killed the boys..more likely on the orders of his wife.

He should be reburied in York.. After all, he was white rose all the way.

He Ordered it
in those days Women did not order feck all

They are Dumping the Coffin
in what should be a Disco House
but its a Cathedral

[joeysteele]

I don't think he was responsible for their deaths, after reading man books on this subject,I actually would lean more to Henry V11, he had more to lose with the Princes being still alive.
The Tudors were all, with the exception of the boy King, Edward V1,in my view, paranoid crackpots.

I think Richard 111 has been cruelly treated by historians and that he was likely far from the moster they depict him to be.

This is fantastic to watch,in my view, today and it is fitting at last that he is getting a decent, dignified service and send off that befits a warrior King.
I really wish I had nbeen able to be in Leicester today to wtiness this procession.

For goodness sake, where is that being on the fence, I say he didn't kill them or order it either, I believe Henry Tudor did it when he usurped the throne.
They were all that were left of the Yorkist line, it would have been folly for Richard to have actually killed them.

Anyway, I am not on the fence at all,actually not on anything.
I think your view of people sitting on fences is distorted slightly, with full respect.

Murdering his nephews

Shakespeare, among others, gave Richard a bad press. I doubt he was responsible for the death of the princes.

Ch4HD News Jon Snow
has a connection to King Richard III

[joeysteele]

Oh crumbs David Starkey,that pompous know all, already an anti Richard 111 person anyway.

he was totally wrong, Shakespeare from the vile Tudors account of Richard 111, depicted him as a hunchback.
While he had a spinal problem, it would not have made him appear a hunchback the new evidence proves due to the condition he had, so there's utter tripe from Shakespeare and the Tudors for a start.

Henry was away you say arista,he could have arranged it from there, also maybe the Princes weren't killed until Henry Tudor actually took the throne after the battle.

No one knows when they were killed, or if in fact they even were.

[joeysteele]

Shakespeare, among others, gave Richard a bad press. I doubt he was responsible for the death of the princes.

I am pleased to see you have doubts too Livia.

I started reading about him filled with the view he had from the way history had portrayed him.
However the more I read about him in several books, that picture just didn't fit for me and I found strong doubts forming all the time.

As I said earlier,reading more and more about the Tudors,left me thinking they were near all paranoid crackpots,which only made me feel even more sure as I could be, that Richard 111 has been wrongly judged as to history.

[MTVN]

Think Shakespeare was mainly influenced by Thomas More's account of Richard's hunchback. It was a fairly typical smear of the time to exaggerate or completely fabricate deformities to suggest that someone's inner evil manifested itself also in their body. It happened for a long time with Anne Boleyn that she would have deformities exaggerated to make out she was a lot more ugly than she actually was

Yes,it was said she had an extra finger or something wasn't it, as if Henry V111 would have lusted after someone ugly.

Yep as well as a bucktooth and a growth on her neck apparently lol, that account came from a Catholic priest I think which explains the fabrication

I agree. It served Richards purpose better to have the boys alive. Richard and Anne only had one son and only him after years of trying to have children and he was ailing. Richard knew that the House of Lancaster would take over as soon as he died.
IF the princes in the tower were murdered and not smuggled away into hiding, then look to the House of Lancaster and Margaret in particular, whose ambition for her Lancastrian son was obsessive.
King Richard 111 deserves to be buried at York where he was loved or in Westminster.

Yes that's true. With Anne Boleyn and her sixth finger, her enemies accused her of witchcraft, mainly based on that fact alone.

I went down to Leicester Monday and Tuesday, got to file past the coffin, what a fantastic feeling it was.
Talking to so many people and the atmosphere despite long delays in getting through the Cathedral was just amazing.

I agree York would have been a more fitting permanent place for the King to be buried in,I feel sure it is where he would have chosen too.

Really fantastic event this is this week.
Much more of what he should have been given and a fitting tribute to him too at last.
One in the eye for the Tudors too, for Richard 111 to now be commemorated and have this respect and passion from so many citizens today, oozing for him all these centuries later.

[Kizzy]

What York?... You do know York is in the north? :laugh:
Wonder why they lined his coffin with lead, that was pretty odd. I wonder how much this charade cost?

[Kizzy]

Is anyone watching the charade?

its amazing that anyone would want to see this shambles :shrug:

Are peoples lives so bereft that they want to look at a coffin?

If they could go and and touch the bones then i guess that would be cool, to get a pic with the scull?

I find it a little pathetic, i mean look at this :joker:

It's historic. You don't have to watch it, it's not compulsory. Some people though are interested and not quite so cynical. When you look at the billions this country wastes, I'm surprised anyone would have a downer on this. But I guess you can't please all the people all the time.

You are a bloody cynic LT. A cynic with no sense of history...

I was in Leicester on Monday and Tuesday as I said earlier to file past the coffin.
For me a historic and great moment, I really wish I had been there today but I will be going back again to visit the tomb site in the Cathedral.

How I wish he had reigned longer really,I find the whole thing inspiring and I am over the moon that he has had a dignified and fitting service and burial at long last.

he didnt his bones did. he does not exist

and for dignified read risible

[Kizzy]

Historic my ar*e.... Waste of money, pathetic load of old cadswallop!
No money for public services but they can always find money to give murderous warmongers state funerals, it would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

Your view, and very thankfully not everyones.

I am glad that I in my lifetime got to witness a dignified burial for the remains of a much maligned, and unjustifiably so in my view, King.

Along with the thousands that were on the streets for the procession of the coffin and the thousands who then wanted to file past the coffin,coming from around the World too,I, and I am sure they, would call that 'respect'.
A wrong in history, righted as best it could be at last.

They should dig up some more old bones and have this annually in different cities. Look we have found Shakespeare or King Alfred. Hartlepool could find Nogbad the Bad and bury him in a fiery Longboat.

I am pretty sure that a bone i found the other day was Pontius Pilot so i will be quids in
