Richard III...
...and Auntie was invited to write about him for a Catholic newspaper in the USA...read here...
I would love to have been there. I read "Daughter of Time" in the 1960's and have wondered about Richard III ever since. I don't know the history too well.
" Daughter of Time" by Josephine Tey is a novel unique in that it added significantly, through the author`s research, to the body of historical knowledge of the life of Richard III. It makes a very convincing case for exonerating him of guilt for the murder of the his nephews, the Princes, in the Tower. A fascinating read.
Of course, we are sad and disappointed that the remains of a Catholic king of England are receiving an Anglican burial in an Anglican cathedral. What a strange country this is.
