Re: BBC News Skull picture

I would say that the cracks under the right eye are more likely damage done after the burial, from the weight of earth pressing onto the skull. The skull is particularly fragile in that area and unearthed hominid skulls, including human burials, often show cracks around the nose and eye sockets.

It is interesting that this particular photo does not show either the top of the skull or the rear, where the weapon damage is visible.

If this is His Grace the King, the circumstances of his burial and the loss of his grave were just about ideal to preserve his remains.

The poss blow under the eye - I seemed to see a small rectangular puncture; that's why I was thinking poleax. From what we've seen of the state of George of Clarence and Isabel's remains and others, I've got to think that the state of preservation is remarkable.
Loyaulte me lie,

Re: BBC News Skull picture

A friend and I made plans weeks ago to walk a labyrinth tomorrow. I guess now I know why.

After seeing the photo of his skull and how it's affected me, I think I'm going to wait until I get back to find out what you all say about the conference and the documentary. I have to be able to drive, not cry.

But dang, the man had a strong jaw.

Oh, I didn't see that... hang on, I'll go take another look...

Yes, I see what you mean. My first guess would be that it isn't weapon damage; any such blow would probably have shattered the facial bones, and the [carefully blurred] video of Dr. Appleby handling the skull at the site in September convinced me that it was intact; she turned it over, and she wouldn't have done that if there were any chance of bone fragments falling loose.

You're absolutely right that this is exceptional, the state of preservation. Good goin', God! We sure do appreciate it!

In an article I read on the discovery and analyses of the Towton archers/soldiers, one of the analysts remarked the teeth were exceptionally strong and in good condition generally because of the lack of sugar in people's diets back then.

What is that vertical mark in the middle of his forehead?

It's tough to see that... this is an artistically lit shot and it's frustrating.

If anyone would like to see a diagram of the anatomy of the skull:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Human_skull_front_suturas.svg

Looks like the small perforations below the eye sockets are natural features. I want to say those are openings through which nerve trunks pass, but I'm probably way wrong about that. Any anatomy experts in the group?

Interesting. I don't ever remember seeing holes like that before, but then I'm no expert.

It's tough to see that... this is an artistically lit shot and it's frustrating.

If anyone would like to see a diagram of the anatomy of the skull:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Human_skull_front_suturas.svg

Looks like the small perforations below the eye sockets are natural features. I want to say those are openings through which nerve trunks pass, but I'm probably way wrong about that. Any anatomy experts in the group?

You're right--the rectangular penetration is consistent with a blade wound from a weapon, perhaps a knife or dagger.

10 wounds ...8 to skull...humiliation wounds also inflicted after death...one stab wound to buttock...probably after richard had been slung on the horse. Knife wounds to face..would not have been fatal...one to cheek..one to chin...Wow...his body really was treated like rubbish...

Hands may have been tied at wrist when he was buried...

Just copy and paste. Surprise, "CBS This Morning" showed a photo of the skull next to the National Portrait Gallery portrait with a headline that read something like "The Skeleton Is the King." Must get back to watching because they promised more.

I believe that the real telling blows were the ones at the base and rear of the scull.
It looks like a slice had been taken out of his cranium and a hole next to the lower part of his cranium also.
Either of the wounds would have most certainly killed him, one can only speculate in which order they were administered, I can only hope that he did not suffer for long.
It will be interesting to find out if the wounds came from a similar direction or from multiple angles they have already stated that some of the wounds were postmortem.
Perhaps someone can explain to me why in the photos of the discovery his skull looked like it had been propped up yet the description states "as discovered"

Hi, George 

About the angle of the skull  I took if from what Richard Buckley said that the actual grave was too short for the body. The legs were put in first, and thus were completely extended, but they ran out of room. Therefore when they laid the head in, it was cocked at an angle, propped against the far vertical wall of the grave. And it appears that the mouth was open when it was placed in the grave, and the arms and hands were in an unusual position, lying on the right hip, I think. That's why Buckley says that they think Richard's hands may still have been tied at that point. And the website says the body had neither coffin nor shroud.



Remember how we were speculating that maybe there was a White Boar badge or something found with the body. Well, it appears that must have been a misunderstanding, as there was nothing else with the body.

I believe they did state that the hole wasn't big enough for the body, the body was made to fit, so the head placed on top. No coffin or shroud.

Hi, George 

For some things I might be speculating, but on the position of the head and the arms/hands I'm going by what Richard Buckley said at the press conference. The height and the effect of the scoliosis was commented on by Jo Appleby, and the fact that there was no shroud or coffin is on the website.

Once he was taken down from his horse and surrounded by Infantry I do not believe that he would have lasted long, hopefully one of the two blows to the back of his head occurred soon after, he would have known little or nothing.
His hands would have been tied together probably to lash him on a horse to bring him back from the battlefield and just were never removed ( I would think that the Grey Friars would want to bury the body as soon as possible remember it was several days after the battle)

Yes indeed I suppose Richard could have been treated worse, as Richard's
father and older brother's heads had been mounted on pikes and displayed on
Mickelgate Bar at York. On the other hand, I am surprised the friars didn't
untie his hands and at least give him a shroud. (unhappy smiley face)



Yes, the King is missing a tooth in front and several of his molars, which
someone commented were probably lost due to dental caries. But still overall
- I'm so used to seeing people with irregular teeth, I am sure he would have
had a flashing smile. (smiley smiley face)

And I dont know why they could not have given him a shroud....even poor people were buried in shrouds...Maybe there was a reason which has been lost to us now. Even the grave was not long enough...that is why his head was propped up a little...Was it all rushed for some reason?

Why they were allowed to treat the body of a fallen annointed king is awful. I noticed that nothing was said about the arrow?

By the way Carol..you mean London Bridge :0)

Carol responds:

I'm not sure about the dental caries. Would he have eaten subtleties and other desserts at anything other than the occasional banquet? Sugar use in England wasn't as widespread in Richard's time as it was in Elizabeth I's what with all those sugar plantations in the New World. Also, the other teeth seem to be in fine shape. (I'm still curious about the tiny molars. Or are wisdom teeth usually small? Mine were impacted and surgically removed when I was eighteen.)

At any rate, the Society's new website says "Radiocarbon dating reveals individual had a high protein diet – including significant amounts of seafood - meaning he was likely to be of high status." That would be Lent and all those gifts of bream, sturgeon, and pike from the people of Yorkshire!

Right. The Tower Bridge wasn't built yet. I wasn't thinking clearly. I have such mixed emotions now that I don't think I can even name them all! Too bad I don't like tea or I'd brew myself a cup to comfort me!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 4 February 2013
GREYFRIARS HUMAN REMAINS
CONFIRMED AS RICHARD III

" Richard III Society hails news as a unique moment in history'
" Society claims news is spine-tingling', the stuff of legend'
and an emotional link to a bygone age'
" Will inspire a renaissance in the study of the life and times of
Richard III and the re-writing of history
" Calls to end the lazy acquiescence with the Tudor and
Shakespearean myths' about the king

Today's news confirmed what until this morning members of the Richard
III Society had hardly dared believe, that
the Greyfriars human remains are indeed those of Richard Plantagenet,
the fifteenth-century English king, known
to most as Richard III: the last warrior king of England.
This is a unique moment in history. Richard III has been found and
can now be given a reinterment with dignity
and solemnity, something denied him these last 500 or more years. Also,
when the facial reconstruction is revealed,
which will be spine-tingling, people will see the face of the man so
badly used by history. Maybe, now that people
can see that Richard III was a human being, not a monster, they will
stop knocking his reputation and give the truth
a chance to come out. Congratulations to Philippa Langley for her
determination to see this project through.
Thanks, too, to the scientific team at Leicester University for all that
they have achieved. Good King Richard can be
laid to rest at last.

Dr Phil Stone, Chairman, Richard III Society
The discovery of King Richard III is nothing short of miraculous, an
emotional link to a bygone age. This historic
moment represents the culmination of an extraordinary four year quest to
uncover the real Richard III. Today that
dream has been realised. To those around the world who saved the
Greyfriars dig from disaster and cancellation,
you gave us our mandate when you said: Search for him, find him,
honour him'. It is now time to fulfil this mandate
and honour this much maligned monarch with a reburial that befits a
king, and a total reassessment of his life and
times. This is the stuff of legends.'

Philippa Langley, Originator of the Looking for Richard' project
This is an exciting and wonderful outcome from the DNA perspective.
However, we must remember that DNA
alone can NEVER prove someone's identity. It can only DISPROVE
identity (if you get a mismatch). This exciting
DNA match indicates that the Leicester male is related in some way to
the female-line descendants of Richard III's
sister, Anne of York. By itself, that is extremely suggestive. When we
combine that with all the other circumstantial
evidence available  such as the date of his death, the location in
which his remains were found, the fact that he was
male, the evidence of his high social class, and the compelling evidence
of the circumstances in which death
occurred, together with the evidence relating to his physical
appearance, we are confronted with overwhelming
evidence that the male remains from the Greyfriars are indeed those of
Richard III

Dr John Ashdown-Hill, Historian
The Richard III Society has been working since 1924 to secure a
reassessment of King Richard's place in English
history and to challenge the myths that surround his life and
reputation.

The project to search for King Richard III's final resting place was
driven largely by two members of the Society,
Philippa Langley and Dr John Ashdown-Hill. Philippa, a screenwriter who
is secretary of the Society's Scottish
Branch, conceived the project and worked unaided for several years
before approaching the Society for support. Dr.
Ashdown-Hill contributed the background research into the location of
the Grey Friars and discovered King
Richard's mtDNA that confirmed the identification of the human remains.

Until last summer, the location of King Richard's remains was one of
the most hotly debated issues in English
history; he was the last English king to die in battle and reports of
what happened to his remains became muddled
over the subsequent 500 years. As a defeated king Richard suffered at
the hands of those who had deposed him and
his reputation underwent claims of murder, physical deformity and
incompetence. But today's results offer a
tantalising opportunity to set the record straight over the king's
reputation and encourage further research into his
life and times. Historical justice for Richard III is long overdue.
Thanks to the efforts of the Richard III Society, and all those involved
with the recent dig, the project to find King
Richard's remains has now yielded results that few would dare have
dreamt of. Our understanding of this period of
English history will be the better for it.



Notes to Editors
TOMORROW, THE RICHARD III SOCIETY WILL REVEAL THE FACE OF KING RICHARD
III FROM
A FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION UNDERTAKEN BY PROFESSOR CAROLINE WILKINSON OF
THE
UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE.
THE RECONSTRUCTION, FUNDED BY THE RICHARD III SOCIETY, WILL BE UNVEILED
FOR THE

Background

Richard III was an innovative king of England; initiatives such as the
Council of the North, an early example of
devolution, lasted until the mid-seventeenth century; his legal reforms
continued long after his death, with some still
embedded in our laws today. Noteworthy aspects of his reign include:
" being the first king to use English to swear his coronation oath and
to record acts of parliament.
" a commitment to fair play in the judicial system: his actions and
proclamations stressing that his laws were
to be administered impartially without delay or favour, thereby helping
to establish the legal principle of
blind justice.'
" development of an early form of Legal Aid, which provided support
for those unable to afford lawyers by
allowing people to make direct petitions to the Royal Council. Under
Henry VII this became the Court of
Requests.
" introduction of bail, thereby initiating the legal principle of
presumption of innocence'.
" active encouragment of the fledging book printing industry, a policy
reflecting the king's own personal
interest in books

Isn't it possible the tooth was lost during the battle? Or that it simply rotted out over 500 years? I'm no dentist, Johanne, just asking!! Maire.

Would it be possible that maybe the good Friars had to be quick before something worse was done to Richard's body? And the shroud, maybe it just mouldered away? Have they spoken to any fibers? I heard tiles, walls, metals and bones but no fabric at all.

Pamela: I think the hasty burial of Richard was because the friars were scared to death of Henry the VII - creep that he was. I, for one, now firmly believe in the myth that the White Boar Inn was quickly changed to the Blue Boar Inn.

Happily, the romantic in me, will return to "We Speak no Treason," where Richard is buried with great love and kindness - as he should have been. Maire.

Carol responds:

I suspect that they wanted to get the body into the ground as soon as possible since Richard had been dead several days and, well, it must already have been decomposing. Possibly, the conducted the service even as they dug the grave. At least, they buried him in the choir as befitted a king.

I would never criticize those friars. They did a deeply humane act. Maire. P.S.: I'm just feeling sad hearing the details of his death and seeing his mortal remains. God bless him. I hope he is in a better place - or as the sybil in "I, Claudius" says: may he dream a different dream.

Hi, Maire -



I don't recall seeing any suggestion as to how the front tooth was lost. It
was the molars that someone suggested might have been lost due to dental
caries. I agree with Carol, from what I know, there wouldn't have been as
much sugar in the diet then as later. On the other hand, if it wasn't due to
tooth decay you'd have to come up with another suggestion as to what caused
the tooth loss.



I believe that the person I was quoting was one of the people involved in
the investigation, possibly Ms. (Dr.?) Appleby. Whoever it was, believe me,
he/she would know more about the issue than I would!



Loyaulte me lie,

Isn't it possible the tooth was lost during the battle? Or that it simply
rotted out over 500 years? I'm no dentist, Johanne, just asking!! Maire.

teeth seem to be in fine shape. (I'm still curious about the tiny molars. Or

Hi Vickie

I don't think it will be 'live', I've not heard anything about it other
than what is in the press release.

The reconstruction was shown in the documentary tonight & will be up on
the website possibly tomorrow. I was struck by how young he looked....

Carol responds:

In the chat that just aired, Philippa said, "He lost his tooth sometime in the grave, not in life. Look at her comment at 10:48.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-57567393/britains-lost-king-richard-iii-lost-no-more/

Oddly, I didn't see the question she was responding to, but I definitely saw that answer!

Hi Ishita

To me he looked very young, beautiful, chin & nose are like the
portraits ie the portraits were a correct representation not the other
way round. The whole thing is computer generated with no imaginative
input from the reconstructor, who is a well respected Professor in
Dundee (I think). the colouring etc were taken from the portraits.

Have you seen the links to the pics that Cecilia put up earlier?

cheers

Wasn't there some fossilized old duchess in the Henry VIII era who said she'd danced with both Edward IV and the then-duke of Gloucester and asserted that Richard was the handsomest man in the kingdom except for his brother the King?

Carol responds:

It was the Countess of Desmond, and she said that Richard was the handsomest man in the room and very well made, which suggests that she had no idea that his spine was crooked and didn't notice one shoulder being higher than the other. Maybe only his wife, his tailor, and his valet knew for sure. Or the old countess could be misremembering,as has often been suggested.

[Eyeing the reconstruction.] Yeeeeeeeeah... I can see how she'd have been misremembering, all right. Looks like there's more than one reputation to be rehabilitated. We're gonna hafta give the Countess of D. credit for knowing her beefcake!

A woman never misremembers a fine-made man, regardless how long she lives.

I was right, he's built like Orlando Bloom. Sleek, elegant, and I wasn't expecting him to be so handsome. One more reason for the pinched Tydder to slam him.

Weds and I think he has a look of Orlando Bloom to him :P
A pretty face, a violent death and a Romeo-Juliet like love story( true or not) makes people go mad!
And he does have a dangerous look about him, doesn't it? Makes him even more attractive to people!
Well, now in all seriousness, how much the scoliosis would have impacted his day to day life? How much pain would he have been? I do wish, like Weds we would get a more thorough explanation about his disease and its impact.

No - a hundred years after that. It's a legend. Katherine Countess of Desmond lived to a very old age but that got exaggerated till she was said to have been 140 and to have remembered dancing with Richard when they were both young people, etc. Actually, she hadn't even been born in the 1460s.

Carol responds:

It wasn't a disease. Apparently, it was idiopathic (no known cause). But I absolutely agree that we need more information from doctors. An archaeologist who loosely uses the term "hunchback" as a synonym for scoliosis is not helpful to the cause of countering Tudor propaganda. Not even Sir Thomas More (who also had one shoulder higher than the other) used the term "hunchback." That began with Shakespeare. The one earlier slur that we know about used the term "crookback," which might have become common knowledge after the humiliations inflicted on Richard's body after Bosworth.

No it is not a legend Marie, Don't know why you would think why. She was in her 80s in the last years of the Weasel's rains.

You're wrong, Paul. I have studied the FitzGerald genealogy, and also the story dates from the 17th century.

Carol responds:

The only undisputed fact we have is that she died in 1604 at a very advanced age.

Horace Walpole, who had heard the story as a family tradition among some well-born acquaintances, wrote:

"The old countess of Desmond, who had danced with Richard, declared he was the handsomest man in the room except his brother Edward, and was very well made."

I can't find any recent articles on the topic, which was rather popular in historical journals in the 1850s and '60s, but it appears that Walpole, always a skeptic, went looking for sources. Sir Walter Raleigh had said that the Countess was married (presumably at a young age) in the reign of Edward IV and lived to be 140. "The Natural and Civil History of the County of Cork" (1584), which Walpole also consulted, says that Thomas, Earl of Desmond, died that same year at a very great age. His second wife, Katherine, was still living (we know that she died in 1604). http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=68&dat=18870127&id=BoEDAAAAIBAJ&sjid=cSoDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5864,5811165

Apparently, this man was the younger brother of James, Earl of Desmond (born in 1459), to whom Richard wrote commiserating with him over the executions of his father and young brothers at the hands of the same people who arranged the execution of his own brother, George of Clarence (the Woodvilles?). Wikipedia, however, has this Thomas dying at age 80 in 1534, not 1584. That would mean he was born in 1454, five years before his older brother, James!

In other words, the more I explore the topic, the more confused I am as to the facts.

To return to our countess, however, she was reputed to have had new teeth come on to replace the old ones three times and to have died falling from a nut tree (later changed to a cherry tree to make the story more charming).

Anyway, some stories have Katherine born in 1464, making her twelve years younger than Richard. If she danced with Richard at the marriage of Edward IV's son Richard and Anne Mowbray in January 1478, she would have been about thirteen and Richard twenty-five. Richard stayed away from the court after George's execution a month later, so that would probably have been the latest possible occasion. I don't recall Richard participating in any of Edward's Christmas festivities after that.

I'm not saying that the story is true, but certainly the tradition that Richard was handsome had lived into Walpole's time, at least in one family.

I've checked the facts and it's worse still. The alleged link with Richard doesn't surface until the 18th century - Walpole - after a century of other tall stories about her.
1) In Sir Walter Ralegh's 'History of the World' (published 1614) it says:
"I myself knew the old countess of Desmond, of Inchiquin in Munster, who lived in the year 1589, and many years since; who was married in Edward the Fourth's time, and held her joynture from all the Earles of Desmond since then...."
2) Fynes Moryson's 'Itinerary' (1617) further claims: "In our time the Irish Countess of Desmond lived to the age of about 140 years, being able to go on foot four or five miles to the market town, and using weekly so to do in her last years; and not many years before she died she had all her teeth removed."
3) Bacon (1623):
"The Irish, especially the wild Irish, even at this day live very long; certainly they report that within these few years the Countess of Desmond lived to a hundred and forty years of age, and bred teeth three times."
4) Bacon again (1627):
"They tell a tale of the old Countess of Desmond, who lived till she was seven score years old, that she did dentire twice or thrice: casting her old teeth, and others coming in their place."
5) Robert Sydney (c. 1640):-
"The old Countesss of Desmond was a married woman in Edward IV's time of England, and lived till towards the end of Q. Elizabeth's time, so she must needs be near 140 years old. She had a new set of teeth not long afore her death, and might have lived much longer had she not met with a kind of violent death; for she would needs climb a nut tree to gather nuts; so, falling down, she broke her thigh, which brought a fever, and that fever brought death.. This my cousin Walter FitzWilliam told me.
This old lady, Mr. Harriot told me, came to petition the queen and, landing at Bristol, she came on foot to London, being then so old that her daughter was deecrepit and not able to come with her but was brought in a little cart, their poverty not allowing for better provision...."
5) Archbishop Usher (b. 1580), in 'Chronologia Sacra' (1660):-
"In Ireland the Countess of Desmond married to the Earl when Edward IIII was reigning in England, was living - and lively - in my time, dying at around the age of 140."
6)Walpole, 'Historic Doubts' (1768):-
"The old countess of Desmond, who had danced with Richard, declared he was the handsomest man in the room except his brother Edward, and was very well made."
Walpole says he got his information from "the old Lady Dacre" who had conversed with the Countess. But Walpole was only born in 1717 and cannot possibly have spoken to someone who had known a countess who died in the 1590s.
As time goes on it just gets better and better.

An inscription on one of her many supposed portraits names her as Katherine. If this is correct, then she would have been Katherine FitzGerald, daughter of John FitzGerald of Dromana, and cousin & second wife of Thomas Maol FitzGerald, 12th/13th Earl of Desmond (the counting methods vary) who died in 1534. This was not the Thomas Earl of Desmond who visited the court of Edward IV (and was executed in Drogheda in 1468), but his third son. The Thomas Earl of Desmond who visited Edward IV was the 6th/7th earl, married to Ellice Barry; she outlived him, marrying as her second husband Maurice FitzGibbon, the White Knight of Glyn (d. 1496); she was probably born about 1430 or even earlier and so cannot have been alive at the end of Elizabeth I's reign.
Katherine was a grand-daughter of the 6th/7th earl's younger brother, so she would probably have been born in about 1490.

One can speculate that the lady in question may have been a young bride of one of the 6th/7th earl's sons who came over with him to England, but given the late date of the emergence of the legend such speculation does not seem warranted.

Maybe we could just delete the Countess and rewrite the legend to say that Anne Nevill danced with Richard, Duke of Gloucester at [insert occasion] and thought he was the most handsome man in the room?

Others have rewritten stuff. Why can't we? In this case, it might even be true.

Hi, Weds, Pamel & Carol (aka "goaheadandpuncturemyballoon" LOL!) -



I like to think that the story relates to the mother or grandmother of the
Countess who related the story in the 16th. c. After all, her family had
reason to remember Richard kindly.

Carol responds:

No balloon puncturing here. I had the same thought. I've read somewhere that Thomas Fitzgerald, the seventh Earl of Desmond (the one executed in 1468 along with two young sons) was at Edward's Christmas court for the preceding Christmas. Richard would have been just fifteen, but maybe they considered him a man by the standards of the time. He could have danced with the then-countess, who could have passed on the story. Her son James (the earl that Richard wrote to and perhaps knew personally) would have been only eight, but he could theoretically have passed on the story, or his children could have heard it directly from their grandmother. Ultimately, it could have become associated with the long-lived Katherine, who was also a Fitzgerald by birth (all these marriages between cousins). I'm not a genealogist, much less an expert on the Fitzgeralds, but I suspect that, like the rumor Vergil reported about Edward IV wronging a woman connected with Warwick, there's a germ of truth in it somewhere. Some woman connected with the earls of Desmond remembered dancing with a handsome young man named Richard Duke of Gloucester.

All pure hopeful speculation. [Smile]

What a wonderful picture you paint!



To be more humdrum, not only do they suggest that Richard's scoliosis didn't
start till he was at least 10 years old, I've read in several places the
likelihood that it didn't start till he reached puberty (probably had
something to do with his "growth spurt" I would think), so it is very
possible that not only would he have been a looker as a young man, but have
had a perfectly straight spine at the time, too.

No balloon puncturing here. I had the same thought. I've read somewhere that
Thomas Fitzgerald, the seventh Earl of Desmond (the one executed in 1468
along with two young sons) was at Edward's Christmas court for the preceding
Christmas. Richard would have been just fifteen, but maybe they considered
him a man by the standards of the time. He could have danced with the
then-countess, who could have passed on the story. Her son James (the earl
that Richard wrote to and perhaps knew personally) would have been only
eight, but he could theoretically have passed on the story, or his children
could have heard it directly from their grandmother. Ultimately, it could
have become associated with the long-lived Katherine, who was also a
Fitzgerald by birth (all these marriages between cousins). I'm not a
genealogist, much less an expert on the Fitzgeralds, but I suspect that,
like the rumor Vergil reported about Edward IV wronging a woman connected
with Warwick, there's a germ of truth in it somewhere. Some woman connected
with the earls of Desmond remembered dancing with a handsome young man named
Richard Duke of Gloucester.

All pure hopeful speculation. [Smile]

Very speculative. I don't think we know exactly when Desmond visited England, but it might be possible to discover. Also, Richard was in Warwick's household from late 1465 to probably late 1468. If this tale had surfaced early in the trail of anecdotes about the Countess I might be inclined to wonder if it had been passed down through the famuily, but Richard doesn't enter the picture until Horace Walpole comes along. I do think that, if we are to criticise Alison Weir use of More as an historical source we need to drop our own untenable myths. It's a lovely story, and I particularly like the Irish connection being 75% Irish myself, but it won't do. Particularly with the Countess being attached to tales of growing a new set of teeth aged 130-something and dying at 140 after falling ourf a nut tree: please let's not give the Alison Weirs and Michael Hicks of this world any more ammunition.

Carol responds:

For what it's worth, we were just having fun with an old rumor, thinking about how it might have started, with no intention of proving anything and certainly not taking the 140-year-old countess as truth. Perfectly harmless and not ammunition for the anti-Richards as we have no intention of spreading it outside this forum. Unlike Alison Weir, we're not publishing our speculations or implying that they're factual. Personally, I think we need a little light relief after discussing Richard's injuries and other unpleasant topics. But no need for concern; I hadn't planned to expand on the topic and have no objection to its being dropped. I do thank you for calling it a lovely story, and I never intended it as anything else.

Hi, Carol & Marie -



I agree that Marie is probably right, considering the issue from a serious
point of view; the point is, from my point of view, 140 years of age is
right in the same league as two years in the womb, etc. etc. But, if there
might be a grain of truth somewhere - and there might be at that - it would
have to be in a family legend passed down, about the female ancestor or
collateral relative who danced with Richard and passed on the tale in the
family. Marie, you may be right that it would be nice (i.e. more likely to
be true) if it had been recorded before Walpole, but surely it's possible
that such stories get handed down orally (especially in Ireland!) and they
often do have a kernel of truth. My more serious point was about using More,
Rous, Polydore Vergil as sources. The problem with the Yorkist kings and
pretenders is that there are relatively few sources for their era. Most
people pretty much dismiss the Arrivall out of hand. Because of the paucity
of material I wouldn't look askance at anyone for using some of the more
controversial sources, if they are used very carefully. My recollection is
that even J A-H used More, because there were no other sources (I think that
was for the infamous Council meeting at which Hastings was condemned.) J A-H
certainly did it with caution and explicit caveats that he was doing it
reluctantly. But still, I wouldn't condemn Hicks et al for using More as a
source - but I would condemn them for accepting unequivocally the status
quo, in the end, simply because it's the conventional wisdom. Harrumph!



Take care,



Johanne

Good Lord, the same thing is done today, except there so too much information and it gets muddled. And our politicians speak with forked tongue and bearing stop for breath. In the USA today, political paucity would be a great blessing!
Tongue in cheek, there. You are absolutely correct.

The Earl was definitely executed. The death of his sons appears to be a
Tudor era myth. There's even a touching story of a young lad
<http://books.google.com/books?id=pAcqAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA114>, named for his
father. not even realizing what's happening. It's also completely false.

Let's look the sons of Thomas
<http://thepeerage.com/p15143.htm#i151423>, 8th Earl of Desmond.

James, the 9th Earl of Desmond
<http://www.libraryireland.com/biography/JamesDesmond9thEarl.php>, was
murdered in 1487, twenty years after his father's death, during the
reign of Henry VII.

Maurice, the 10th Earl of Desmond
<http://www.libraryireland.com/biography/MauriceDesmond10thEarl.php>
died in 1520, during the reign of Henry VIII.

Thomas, the 12th Earl of Desmond
<http://www.libraryireland.com/biography/SirThomasDesmond12thEarl.php>,
died in 1534, not in 1467 as the touching fiction claims.

Carol again:

Interesting. I did wonder about that as I looked at the sons in the Wikipedia article trying to figure out which one was "Richard's" Earl of Desmond, but I was primarily interested in which Christmas party the earl would have attended and how the rumor about the countess could have been started.

Are you familiar with Richard's letter to the Earl of Desmond (was it James? I can't figure out how Thomas, the eleventh earl, could have been born in 1454 and James, the eighth earl, in 1459)? I can only find a paraphrase, not the original, in Kendall, and he does mention only the father, not any brothers. I don't have time to check now (who can look up anything with this plethora of posts?), but I'm wondering if that was Hall's doing, too, like the murdered twelve-year-old Earl of Rutland who was really a seventeen-year-old killed (apparently) in battle.
