Youtube and Richard III

Except for The Trial of Richard III, there is no real representation of the historical Richard III, except for Tudor Documentaries. Unfortunately, the Tudor viewpoint is not history. I ran across a British Documentary about the murder of the Princes in the Tower which starts with the arrest of Lord Rivers. No context, no explanation, only presenting his arrest as evidence that Richard was plotting Treason and Murder from the second his brother died.
The Truth would have started with an expose of what each member of the Ricardian, Woodville and Tudor factions was doing at the time of Edward IV's death. The machinations of the Woodvilles, Lord River's included, Henry Stafford and Henry Tudor are the raison d'etre for Richard's subsequent actions.
My favorite suspect for the murder of Edward V, either for his own ends(he certainly was ambitious enough and had an excellent claim in his own right), or to win favor from or from an active conspiracy with Henry Tudor, is Henry Stafford, The Duke of Buckingham.

Honorable and Brave is the picture of Richard III from Bosworth Field. Even his enemies give him that much. Shakespeare only remembers the desecration of his body by the dishonorable Henry Tudor.

I love Winston Churchill's famous quote

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it. Winston Churchill

Truth is what the victors say it is, but Truth is also the Daughter of Time.

We need to post a Youtube Video, most probably of his finest moment, on the Battlefield of Bosworth Field, betrayed by the Stanleys, with only his closest "friends", charging Henry and his retinue of 200 mercenaries with a courage which has seldom been equaled and never been surpassed.
Elizabeth Mackintosh and I recognize that moment as his finest hour.

I start my script with a quote from Votaire -
"To the living we owe respect.To the dead only truth".
When I began writing it I started with Tewkesbury, but found myself having to put in so much long winded explanations
as to how people had got to this point in the story, and from where they had come, that I ended going back to the day of his birth!
Hence the reason it has now become a five part television series rather than a feature film. Unless someone has the money to risk on a Lord of the Rings type 3 parter!

Richard Liveth Yet!

That is the point about Richard's story, you have to tell it all or it isn't any good. The traditionalists, for want of a better word, can prove anything they like by just giving the information they want the reader to know. I love your quote from Voltaire Paul. If I ever win the Lottery you will be my first good cause.
