Blogge...Sorry, it was a holiday here so I was busy.<br />Blogger doesn't play well with other programs I will have to type it into PDF format.I will do that asap.<br />As far as the prince's go, I never thought Richard did them in.<br />If he had there would have been some talk and Henry Tudor would have certainly shown them or it.<br />They were a liability much more for Henry than Richard.<br />My main anger was toward the 'crookback' crowd.<br />Having swung real weapons, I knew he could not have had as much abnormality as has been made out.Robert Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114299951391079193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437416196467752074.post-25445375386995442962016-11-27T21:22:14.258+00:002016-11-27T21:22:14.258+00:00Dear Robert,
Regarding your enquiry about the prin...Dear Robert,<br />Regarding your enquiry about the princes in the tower. I thought you may be interested in this report from the RIII Norfolk Branch study day. Keynote presentation by Philippa Langley MBE.<br />"This is now a 'missing person's' investigation, forensically analysing people and events as they were, not as we perceive them to be. No record exists of Tyrell's "confession" of 1502 and although publication could have confirmed Richard's alleged guilt, Henry VII failed to do so. Further- why, in a Royal Palace, the Tower, where some 600 - 1,000 people lived and worked, did not a single person observe on record the deaths of two such high profile individuals? There is no evidence in the Tower, and no child murders there (or at least not until there were Tudors on the throne)<br />Of the "Bones in the Urn" in Westminster abbey, modern research suggests these may be female and should certainly be re-examined. Philippa references each of the written sources from Mancini in 1483 to Shakespeare in 1592, but showed a lack of uniformity in the writings which consist of rumour, hearsay and gossip, showing that murder was not a "given" as there were equal rumours for survival. Asking what was the motive for murder. Richard could not have benefited without displaying the bodies.<br />She then examined the chances of survival of the boys, concluding that the Woodville sisters (and Richard) knew that one or both of the boys were alive and well in Burgundy, leading to the balance of probability that Perkin Warbeck was indeed Richard Duke of York, bearing a very strong facial resemblance to King Edward IV, with a cast in his eye and distinguishing birthmarks.<br />It would surely have been Henry VII's trump card to introduce "Perkin" to his own Queen Elizabeth or to the Dowager Queen Elizabeth Woodville, so they might denounce him as an imposter, but this he singularly failed to do.<br /><br />I hope you find this interesting and informative. I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter. By the way, would it be possible to send the pdf review? and of course this website would be mentioned in the journal of the Society of the Ancients. <br /><br />Regards<br /><br />LyndaLynda Telfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437416196467752074.post-53547476718687781392016-11-23T11:46:12.993+00:002016-11-23T11:46:12.993+00:00Dear Robert, If I send you an email address to sen...Dear Robert, If I send you an email address to send your review for publishing in the Society of Ancients journal, could you send it as a pdf file please?<br /><br />Best Wishes<br /><br />LyndaLynda Telfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437416196467752074.post-64838409508860429682016-11-17T19:59:40.848+00:002016-11-17T19:59:40.848+00:00Hi Robert,
Many thanks for permission to use your ...Hi Robert,<br />Many thanks for permission to use your brilliant review of Sulla.<br />Re the princes, I personally think that the elder boy may have died of natural causes and I have a leaning towards Perkin Warbeck being the younger one. Interestingly, nobody ever claimed to be the elder boy! Richard had no reason to kill either of them...he hadn't harmed Clarence's son so why harm boys who were officially illegitimate? I am Events Officer for Yorkshire Branch of the R3 Society. Are you an R3 member?<br />Sorry my second book was not about about Pompey, but "Tudor Victims of the Reformation" just released. My third one, "Women in Medieval England" is contracted to Amberley, though I'd love to do "Sulla and the Social Wars" sometime, revisiting my favourite Roman. <br /><br />Thanks again, best regards<br /><br />Lynda<br /> Lynda Telfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437416196467752074.post-239044415811128172016-11-17T12:33:09.859+00:002016-11-17T12:33:09.859+00:00I would be honored.

If you didn't mind could you add the web address of the blog?<br />We share in common two maligned historical figures.

A fair appraisal of his many achievements has been long overdue, it's time many historians stopped confusing a man's sexuality with his abilities. Thanks. Lynda TelfordAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
