STEPHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Yes i am shouting by the way. 
 
You can't make a statement like that and make us wait a month!  Does this have anything to do with the comment Philippa is supposed to have made about another project she had in mind, or is it totally unconnected? 
 
I am making a note in my diary for 5 weeks time.

Part of me is also shouting, however in today's environment of wannabe archeologists with metal detectors who are not after history but "stuff" I think that you have to totally understand any reluctance to reveal the potential of any new location. North America has a sad history of people ravaging both Native American sites and battlegrounds with little or no respect.
Once a site has been plundered very little can be achieved in the way of substantive archeology, which as history lovers we must support 100%
We waited for some considerable time to see R3 again and the verification of the archeology, sit on your hands count 100 backwards and breath deeply.

Stephen Lark
Liz (and Maire, Eileen and others),

I have read discussions about the ex-Princes for about ten years and have simply joined up several clues. The place I have in mind would not be Shrewsbury's burial place.

The clues:
1) Connections between Tyrrell, Margaret of Burgundy, Brampton and "Perkin".
2) Edward's indifferent health.

In the hypothesis, Richard engages Tyrrell to take both boys to Gipping, prior to a trip to Burgundy. Edward is not up to the journey, dies whilst staying with Tyrrell and only his brother crosses the North Sea. Margaret and Brampton are also involved, before and after Bosworth. Brampton is connected to "Perkin", explaining why he is identified as the younger son, whether he is or not.
Tyrrell is executed at about the same time as Perkin. Both sign "confessions" and the executions are swift. Edward would be buried at Gipping Chapel.

The reason I would like to put this on ice is that I have been commissioned to write 10,000 words by 9 March, on Bosworth, the burial and exhumation.

You will share when you are published, I hope. I am so impressed by the depth, breadth and dedication to scholarship shown by so many. I feel very much out classed and untutored (no pun intended)!

I just found a most beautiful photo of Gipping Chapel. I'm so jealous of those of you who can simply get in a car or on a train and see all these wondrous sights. Me, I'm stuck in NJ watching a press conference with Chris Christie. Maire.

In the interim it might well be a good time to re\re-read Audrey Williamson book The Mystery of the Princes to re/familiiarise with the Gipping/Tyrrell story...hehehehe...I sound like a teacher don't I...Keep up at the back you lot...Eileen.:0)

Well I'm in Colchester so if I had a car still I could whizz up there any time.  Unfortunately it has to wait until at least Eater.
 
Stephen, this is fascinating by the way and your theory makes perfect sense.

Williamson also said that there was no record of Elizabeth ever being at Gipping while Edward was alive. Sounds good to me. Good luck Stephen and thank you for getting involved in the research to find new evidence.

Thankyou. It is worthwhile but best by car, really.

Just to clarify, this is NOT connected to my big current project (unless I mention it to boost the word count) NOR to the long-term project (Marguerite).

Well I'm in Colchester so if I had a car still I could whizz up there any time. Unfortunately it has to wait until at least Eater.

Stephen, this is fascinating by the way and your theory makes perfect sense.

Ive read somewhere? that one of the inducements proffered to EW to get her out of Sanctuary was that she would be able to have the boys living with her somewhere....If this is the case...and something must have got her out of Sanctuary....then where? Does anyone know the whereabouts of EW aftering leaving sanctuary? Eileen

There seems to be a connection between the Tyrells (Thomas and James), Catesby and the Hautes (you'll recall that R's bastard daughter is mooted to be the daughter of Katherine Haute, wife of James Haute a relative of the Woodvilles). This is complicated by Sir Richard Haute (not James's brother), who rebelled with Buckingham, also had a wife called Katherine and was witness to Tyrell's will. Both Tyrells and a 'my sister Catesby' are mentioned in their wills. The Hautes, of course, also had land in Suffolk and in Kent. I'm still poddling and can't get my head round it yet (sister Catesby can't be Margaret Zouche).

BTW did you also know that Catesby also worked for Clarence by 1478, as well as Hastings? Things get extremely complex. Still digging. H.

We have only been reading the heavily spun version of his dealings with Dr. Argentine - describing depression and a fear of being killed.
Suppose that the consultations were about a physical disease and that there were contemporaneous written reports that disappeared into the Tydder Black Hole?

I recall reading the rumour that the ex-Princes lived at Gipping Hall "by permission of their mother". It would seem that a Richard-Woodville rapprochement was happening in 1485, at least according to Annette.

There is only a reference in Mancini which is supposed to have come from
Dr Argentine. However, that apart nothing, and if the heir to the throne
had had health problems everyone would have been talking about it, plus
extra physicians might have been sent to Ludlow etc.
Same thing with Richard's son. His death must have been accidental, or
an unexpected and deadly virus, for it to come as such a shock to the
king, his wife and the country.

Or Ann Olney, Edward of Middleham's nurse and widow of Peter Olney who had connections to Margaret Beaufort, was responsible.

Doug here:

Regarding Edward (V), I agree that it's very unlikely that he had any major
health problems BEFORE he arrived in London, which is why there's no mention
of any such thing. However, he could still have contracted some minor
illness or suffered a cut not properly treated (for that period) while in
the Tower and from which he never completely recovered. Especially allied to
his depressed state (can't blame him there!) and that could very well have
been Richard's main reason for removing his nephews to "someplace in the
country" - their overall health.

As for ricard1an's suggestion, my only query is was she still in the
household? Surely Edward of Middleham was past the point where he'd have a
nurse in his household, at least in that capacity? Was she still in his
household in some other capacity or just as a "family retainer"?

Doug, I did reply off the top of my head. Jenny Powys Lybbe brought this to my attention in an article in the Ricardian and from memory it was nurse, however, the implication was that she was still in Richard's household when Edward of Middleham died.

Well, there may have been, but Edward V actually travelled between Ludlow and London a good deal more than is generally recognised. His last trip before his father's death had been around Christmas and the January parliament, I think. Richard and Buckingham felt able to come south with him fairly quickly after they took charge of him at Stony Stratford.
Of course Edward V could have been perfectly well but succumbed to a sudden illness or had an accident, or something. At any rate, no (Gordon Smith's theory notwithstanding) ever claimed to be Edward V.

It's a hugely interesting tradition, but was picked up very late (early 19th century, I think) so it needs to be treated with a lot of caution.

Is the suggestion that Edward of Middleham was poisoned so wide of the mark. It was besides the personal loss also a gigantic one in terms of Richard being without an heir. Only last night I was read in the Mystery of the Princes that HT would not have had such an easy path to the throne if EofM had still been alive. When you see that there were people at Middleham connected to MB it just makes you think. Edward must have died unexpectedly
because his parents reaction as well as grief seems one of shock. Its been suggested that the shock of Edward's death could have triggered the TB that maybe killed her.

Edward was possibly not yet turned eight - he seems to have been born in the late spring or summer of 1476, not 1473 as often quoted in books.

Paul..I have thought this was very very possible for a very very long time. Could there have been a better way to harm Richard at that time than get rid of his heir? We can hardly believe that the act of bumping of children would never be considered. They thought it perfectly believable that Richard could murder his nephews didnt they...and the way they treated young Warwick....how cruel was that? Eileen

Marie, When do you think Anne and Richard were married? If they were married in 1472, it would seem they had hard time conceiving. Or could that be due to Richard's back problem that they were not able to have sex as often as they would have if he had no problem.   Could that be the reason for their having only one child connived before his condition got worse? Maybe R's lack of mistresses and other illegitimate children at the later years is due to the severe back problem? Just wondering. I think Megan posted something to that effect a few days ago.....

I asked my wife( who is a Dr.) and the underlying problem is stress not shock the patient has to have a preexisting condition, shock and the associated stress can raise blood pressure which can cause numerous problems.

Lol. But didn't the church frown upon "any other way to skin the cat?"
Missionary position or nothing at all......
It just seems to be a likely situation from what we see....the Plantagenets were prolific breeders!

Ah....I've traced it...Anne F Sutton's article The Death of Queen Anne Neville in Richard lll Crown and People..a selection of articles from the Ricardian..."Thirdly, a severe shock such as the death of her son, could have caused the onset of the illness in the Queen if she carried a latent infection with tuberculosis" Sutton lists in her notes and references J Crofton and A Douglas Respiratory Diseases pp 192-9 and Chambers Ecyclopaedia and notes "I am indebted to the advice of Dr P H Sutton FRCP". I dont make this stuff up as I go along you know..I have gained a lot of info over the years from reading as much as I can about Richard who are academically equipped to know what they are talking about. If someone like Anne F Sutton writes something I am inclined to think she probably knows what she is talking about.

Anyway...as Anne was dead 11 months after her small son it could well be that the loss of Edward certainly would not have been helpful for her health..

I've heard that it can trigger pneumonia - my own mother was told that her pneumonia after her first baby died (during the birth) was caused by shock.  As for TB, not a clue but then I don't actually understand how pneumonia can be triggered by shock either..

I have read that shock could have triggered the TB...I am not a doctor, obviously, and I cannot remember where I read it...but I believe it. It is now known that stress can be a killer in that it can make you very ill..so why not shock. Eileen

Am I in trouble for doubting Richard's prowess?! Lol.
The first part of my question was When did R and Anne get married? After they got the dispensation or before? If they married at '73, would that mean they waited for the land dispute to be resolved before they tied the knot? And where was Anne staying from '70-'73?

Since the doctors later ordered Richard to stay away from his wife's bed, I doubt that this was the case. Nor would Richard's supposedly intending to marry his niece Elizabeth have been such a scandal if the rumor mongers thought him incapable of having sexual relations with her.

This scoliosis thing seems to be getting more attention than it deserves< IMO. If he could fight in battle, it can't have been so debilitating that he couldn't make love with his wife. The lack of illegitimate children born after his marriage seems to reflect his belied in constancy to his wife (another manifestation of loyalty) and honoring his wedding vows. He had a reputation, noted by Mancini, for a blameless personal life.

And yet though you seem to want to believe otherwise, exercise and a
healthy diet could have lessened the condition and made it more
manageable. Though of course we still haven't heard the last from the
examination of the bones regarding the scoliosis.
I'm sure Michael Phelps has been having terrible problems with his sex
life because of his scoliosis hasn't he? :-)

Carol responds:

We don't know for certain that Anne's illness was tuberculosis. I don't suppose you have time to do a thorough search now, but we had a discussion of this matter a while back. Whatever it was, the doctors feared that Richard could catch it either by being too near his wife or through sexual relations with her.

But I suspect you're right that stress played a role in hastening her death.

I'm not convinced it was TB, but the bacillus can lie dormant for yearas. Stress is known to depress the immune system.

And yet though you seem to want to believe otherwise, exercise and a
healthy diet could have lessened the condition and made it more
manageable. Though of course we still haven't heard the last from the
examination of the bones regarding the scoliosis.
I'm sure Michael Phelps has been having terrible problems with his sex
life because of his scoliosis hasn't he? :-)

It's not exactly clear when they married. It can't have been before about June 1472 because the dispensation wouldn't have reached England before then. Richard may already have been in the North when it arrived. The earliest reference we have to Anne as Duchess of Gloucester is in the first of the three rolls for the 1472-5 parliament, which covers the autumn of 1472 and spring of 1473.

We can't assume that Edward was the result of Anne's first pregnancy. She could have had miscarriages first, or even a stillbirth or a baby that died in infancy. The gap before the baby, though, makes the commonly held assumption, that she was very fertile until somethig happened when she had Edward - less likely to be true. She looks instead to have been of limited fertility like her mother.

As for Richard's back - if he could ride the distances he did and unhorse Sir John Cheyney, he could surely manage sex.

Dr Marianne's interpretation of Richard's being told to avoid Anne's bed, which was for me novel and interesting, was that it was not something considered contagious - only epidemic illnesses were recognised as contagious - but had to do with Anne's female areas, and that she was regarded therefore as "unclean" to sleep with in a more general sense. Marianne suggested it may have been a pregnancy that went wrong.

Neither Phelps nor Usain Bolt have a problem with their day job, either. Athletes and swimmers probably cannot take painkillers either.

Carol responds:

Yes, I remember our previous discussion. My point here was simply that being told to avoid her bed implied strongly that his physicians didn't think him incapable of having sexual relations. I also noted that it might not have been tuberculosis as is commonly assumed. The "unclean" idea is interesting but not proven or, IMO, provable at this point. All we know is that the physicians were afraid that whatever was wrong with her would either pass to him or harm him in some other way if he shared her bed--hardly advice they would give to a king so crippled by scoliosis that he could not have sexual relations with his wife. It occurs to me that they might have been as concerned for his ability to produce heirs as for his life, but surely his life would have been their primary concern.

Richard proved at least twice before he had one child with his wife that he was completely capable of fathering children.  He also fought plenty of places before Bosworth where he did win, so clearly neither personal intimacy nor the rigors of battle were problems for him; he had some way of compensating.  He was still young.

Yeah, I certainly don't think that Richard had any trouble begetting children or fighting in battle. If he was so crippled with scoliosis that he could not perform his "manly duties", why would he contract with Joana?

I really think - in this case - that Ann was the one with fertility problems. Maire.

Carol responds:

The term "missionary position" was first used in 1948 and refers to the position that Christian missionaries of the nineteenth century ostensibly urged the native peoples to use. Those missionaries, the British ones, anyway, would most likely have been Anglican, not Roman Catholic. (It was the Puritans, not the Catholics, who thought that pleasure was sinful.)

Somehow, I can't imagine Edward IV restricting himself to any one position. (Imagine his poor confessor listening to Edward's lively tale. "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned." "Yes, yes, my son, but must you provide the details?")

There is to my knowledge no commandment among the hundreds (or is it thousands?) in the Old Testament recommending a particular position. Or if there is, the medieval Catholics paid as much attention to it as to the commands about not eating pork. Boar's head was a favorite dish at Christmastime.

Shock and depression can lower immune resistance, so it's less triggering her TB
and more blowing open the gateway that allows that to happen. It's comparable to
how AIDS isn't a cancer, but people with it often die of an otherwise rare type
of skin cancer- their bodies can't fight off something that they usually could.

Then the article below and other references I've seen over the years are incorrect, and early church fathers as its referencing didn't care? It was all, "Whatever you want, however you want it, don't bother confessing a thing," by Richard's time? Or England as a whole was exempt?

http://www.thesmartset.com/article/article05190801.aspx

Excerpt: "In 1215, the cleric Johannes Teutonicus was the first to announce that there was only one "natural" coital position — what we today call "the missionary position," a term that was coined in the 1960s — which was also optimal for conception. Attempting any other position was a mortal sin, Johannes opined, involving exotic and unnecessary forms of stimulation."

My comment on his back possibly making sex painful was referring to the haste
with which the betrothal to Joanna of Portugal was drawn up- he had a nominal
heir at that point and there's no record of him being in ill health at the time
that I know of, so it always struck me as odd that there wasn't slightly more
deliberation on that front. But if he was experiencing a lot of pain in his back
by his early thirties, it would make sense to get on that even quicker than
usual before it became impossible for him to endure altogether.

I take Pilates. I was telling my teacher about the Richard conundrum and the scoliosis. The man who began Pilates, Joseph Pilates, had back problems and went on to live a very vigorous and long life. One of the pieces we use is called a reformer, sounds Medieval doesn't it? Anyway, today we did a group of exercises that mimicked riding a horse. She hypothesized that Richard's wearing armor, and riding, probably strengthened rather that weakened him. This is JUST a hypothesis, but one I found very interesting.

Carol responds:

Since the doctors later ordered Richard to stay away from his wife's bed, I doubt that this was the case. Nor would Richard's supposedly intending to marry his niece Elizabeth have been such a scandal if the rumor mongers thought him incapable of having sexual relations with her.

This scoliosis thing seems to be getting more attention than it deserves< IMO. If he could fight in battle, it can't have been so debilitating that he couldn't make love with his wife. The lack of illegitimate children born after his marriage seems to reflect his belied in constancy to his wife (another manifestation of loyalty) and honoring his wedding vows. He had a reputation, noted by Mancini, for a blameless personal life.

Remember, it's amazing how a guy can forget about a backache when sex rears its alluring head. I don't think Richard was any different from the ordinary man in this respect.

Poor man, I don't think he ever thought that the history books would write about his sex life...

Not to be indelicate, but the pelvic motion when you ride a horse at a walk (say, down a country lane) is akin to the pelvic motion when one is having sex. It's a bit more gentle and "belly dancerish," in that you're shifting first one hip and then the other in coordination with the horse. But it requires a relaxed spine and hip motion.

When you're actively riding the horse, you also use your back and every muscle up and down your legs to communicate with the animal.

So if Richard could ride for hours on campaigns, he could ride...um...elsewhere. And if he could ride a warhorse up until the day he died--which would likely need to be actively ridden rather than his just zoning out and enjoying the ride (especially around other horses and people)--I just cannot see how his back could be that bad.

If it was that bad, then he must have had a really high pain threshold.

Well, riding and even armored fighting would offer chances for built-in support,
though (weren't most armored men already buckled onto their horses, regardless
of the state of their spines? That would offer a chance to build in some
accommodation).

I'm a little bothered, to say the least, by the determination some of Richard's
defenders- including a few people in this group- seem to have as far as
insisting that the apparent scoliosis was the result of improperly stuffing him
in a coffin (or that that exacerbated it), that there was no way it made him
stand any shorter (though I should clarify that logically speaking, I don't
think he could have lost a whole foot of height, seeing as that much loss would
entail his vertebrae being ground down as well as the curvature), that he was in
no way deformed or disabled. I know how connected the whole deformed-Richard
image is with his vilification, but just because it was exaggerated or used
against him later doesn't mean it wasn't present- and it certainly doesn't mean
there's any further truth to the accusations against his character. Is it
impossible to reconcile that the physical evidence suggests he was at least
somewhat disabled while the general contemporary record of his actions states he
was a fundamentally decent and conscientious man?

I don't mean this as a personal attack or anything. It's just really started to
gnaw at me.

Hi Megan,

I don't recall anyone on this forum trying to argue that the scoliosis was only the result of his being stuffed into grave squiffy, or that it didn't cause him to lose any height, but a lot of us are having problems with reconciling with the historical record the "severe" scoliosis and loss of height of up to 1 ft that have been suggested by the Leicester team.

Thank you Marie. I did say it was off the top of my head. At the time that I read Jenny Powys Lybbe's article I did google Peter Idley and there was some information, if I remember rightly, about something that he had written. No wonder I couldn't find him if I was googling the wrong name.

And yet though you seem to want to believe otherwise, exercise and a
healthy diet could have lessened the condition and made it more
manageable. Though of course we still haven't heard the last from the
examination of the bones regarding the scoliosis.
I'm sure Michael Phelps has been having terrible problems with his sex
life because of his scoliosis hasn't he? :-)

Why do I think Elizabeth and Edward IV - especially in his youth - knew a few other tricks of the trade. "Jane Shore" too! Maire.

I don't if you mean me, but I'm just going by my own scoliosis. When I stand I hold my back a lot straighter than when I lie down. That's why I think Richards back in the grave may have been more crooked than when he stood

There is also a good possibility that they had the ingenuity to provide a back-brace for him when the condition began to show itself in his early teens.

I don't know enough about scoliosis but removal of any bracing (armour as well), the long journey over the horse/pony back followed by the markedly uneven position of the upper torso in the grave, along with the decay of the soft tissues, may well have left a greater curvature than would have been there erect and living. Have to check how fast, given such conditions, the bones could have moved to make it look worse than it actually was in life.

I sincerely hope we have not heard the last word from the experts on this.

Aidan

And yet though you seem to want to believe otherwise, exercise and a
healthy diet could have lessened the condition and made it more
manageable. Though of course we still haven't heard the last from the
examination of the bones regarding the scoliosis.
I'm sure Michael Phelps has been having terrible problems with his sex
life because of his scoliosis hasn't he? :-)

I see it as thesis/antithesis/synthesis. We just found out that the guy had scoliosis; everybody's trying to determine what, if anything, that might have done to affect his quality of life. The video evidence available on the find (Ch4 doc, pressers, ULeic vids) comes to a total of fewer than five hours, and the March 2 conference, by itself, will be longer than that, with new details guaranteed to come out. I think we're just starting to talk about the findings and the implications.

As far as I can tell from medical experts and those who have it, scoliosis identified as "severe", as Richard's was identified, can hamper a person's ability to navigate through life easily and without pain. However, exercise is supposed to be an excellent palliative for the pain of scoliosis, and it's a fair bet Richard didn't spend a lot of time on the sofa watching the NFL with a plate of buffalo wings. What does it all mean for Richard specifically? I don't know that any of us here has the expertise to make a call one way or the other. Until such an expert weighs in, though, we're going to be speculating: on the one hand, ew, lookit that spine, that must've hurt. On the other hand, this is the body of a man who has just slaughtered his way through a bunch of armed, armored soldiers and taken out the guy with the flag. Don't look like the curved spinal column slowed him down much.

To be honest, I've been just going through the messages with the little viewpane
thing, so I haven't looked too closely at names. I don't mean it as an attack or
anything, in any case (and Tumblr has been A LOT worse).

Regarding what I've been saying about back pain/Richard's "manly duties"- I
don't think that he was incapable at all, I just think that it's entirely
possible that it was painful, and if it was progressive with age, that would
explain the speed with which the betrothal to Joanna was contracted (making the
production of a new heir possible while he still could).

I can't wait for the skeletal reconstruction! They won't do it with the original remains, of course--far too fragile--but 3D replicas based on the scans can certainly be used. The wear on the vertebrae will tell the story of exactly how the spine fit together. Dr. Jo "Oops" Appleby was fairly confident that nothing had shifted appreciably after interment, but she was also confident that the pile of dirt she scraped at with the mattock was just dirt.

(I don't know why that pisses me off quite as much as it does--no harm, no foul, it happens, they can still analyze the remains, and it's not like she reduced the zygomatic arches to powder or anything. Still and all, the guy damn near wins the battle of his career and survives 527 years underground, and his first glimpse of daylight in half a millennium, he gets smacked in the puss by a scientist with a hatchet.)

I wrote a little speculative fiction piece some time back about what would have happened had Richard won at Bosworth. I Wikipediaed all over medieval Europe for a princess he could have married after Anne's death, and I came up with Joanna of Portugal, who was just perfect: uniter of York and Lancaster, a capable regent in her own right, extremely learned, extremely pious.

[Dryly.] Imagine my surprise.

If ten minutes' worth of research led me right straight to Joanna, Richard and his advisors must have been even more acutely aware of how much she would add to the regal ticket.

There were a couple of problems, though: one was that they had a hell of a time trying to convince Joanna not to run off to a convent and forswear any thought of dynastic marriage. For another, Richard needed legitimate heirs, and pronto: the guy was over 30 and had not one single heir of his own body.

So... yeah. Big hurry. It didn't mean he would mourn his first wife any less, but he had a hell of a job to do and they weren't about to waste a moment.

Do you know, btw, if there's any evidence that Edward IV considered betrothing
14-year-old Richard to the same-aged Isabella of Castile? I had a novel as a
girl purporting to be Isabella's diary (from a series of books about female
royalty as young teens), and in it she mentions receiving a painting of Richard
to see if she likes him. (She thinks he looks a bit small for his age, but
handsome enough.)

The mind boggles at the alternate history possibilities there.

Me too, that is something we all need to hear about. I am still surprised the Scoliosis Association has not made any comment. If I have time today, I try and check historic references and treatments of the disease.
Today is Mardi Gras, and we celebrate in my office. If I m not back quickly, that is the reason. It will be a sober celebration, but with all kinds of Louisiana food, and homemade bread pudding. I wish everyone could join us.

Hi, George & Everybody 

I would really like to see an articulation of the skeleton, and a reconstruction of clothed Richard, so we can see that his condition would scarcely have been visible when he was clothed. I know several people have expressed reluctance to see his unclothed form, but there might be some way to demonstrate the view from, say, the waist up from all angles without his shirt on. That would also demonstrate convincingly our motto: Scoliosis is not hunchback!



They really do need to do something to show us the entire figure, I think.

Mcjohn -



Your speculations, spiced with your dry sense of humour, are good for my
soul. Thank you and keep on fighting the good fight! Remember one of my old
mottos - "Illegetimi non carborundum!" (Don't let the bastards grind you
down! Smile)



Apropos of your sentiments regarding the effect of exercise on the scoliosis
and lack of evidence of disability experienced by Richard - I have two bad
ankles, having had surgery 20+ years ago for a torn peroneal retinaculum
(right ankle) and a broken left ankle three years ago. I find myself
hobbling around my house, which has laminate and ceramic tile floors on a
concrete slab. (hard, hard, hard). Last Winter I was wearing shoes that were
wrong for my feet, but I didn't realize it at the time. The pain was
excruciating, especially when I started walking for exercise. I would wake
up in intense pain in the middle of the night. But I persevered and one day
I found that if I landed with my toes first rather than heel, I walked
faster and with less impact. Ta-DAH! I also changed back to my old trainers.



Eventually my legs became stronger than they had ever been in my life, I
lost 30 lbs in about 4 mos' time, and felt better than I had in years. The
most remarkable thing was that I could do a gentle almost-jog (low impact)
for, like, 3 km at a stretch, with no pain at all! Also I suspect that
eating a high protein diet with a lot of fish probably would have been the
best thing for Richard, as fish and shellfish are a natural source of
glucosamine joint support.

I see it as thesis/antithesis/synthesis. We just found out that the guy had
scoliosis; everybody's trying to determine what, if anything, that might
have done to affect his quality of life. The video evidence available on the
find (Ch4 doc, pressers, ULeic vids) comes to a total of fewer than five
hours, and the March 2 conference, by itself, will be longer than that, with
new details guaranteed to come out. I think we're just starting to talk
about the findings and the implications.

As far as I can tell from medical experts and those who have it, scoliosis
identified as "severe", as Richard's was identified, can hamper a person's
ability to navigate through life easily and without pain. However, exercise
is supposed to be an excellent palliative for the pain of scoliosis, and
it's a fair bet Richard didn't spend a lot of time on the sofa watching the
NFL with a plate of buffalo wings. What does it all mean for Richard
specifically? I don't know that any of us here has the expertise to make a
call one way or the other. Until such an expert weighs in, though, we're
going to be speculating: on the one hand, ew, lookit that spine, that
must've hurt. On the other hand, this is the body of a man who has just
slaughtered his way through a bunch of armed, armored soldiers and taken out
the guy with the flag. Don't look like the curved spinal column slowed him
down much.

Marie replied:

"Edward was possibly not yet turned eight - he seems to have been born in
the late spring or summer of 1476, not 1473 as often quoted in books."

So, he was eight rather than eleven? Scarcely past what could be considered
a baby, then! Which could explain his nurse still being in his household; a
familiar, presumably well-liked face to a very young child.
I wouldn't think ANY parent would expect their child to die, so any
shock/surprise on Richard and Anne's part at his death would have been
completely natural. After all, Edward had survived what tended to be the
most dangerous part of a child's life, the first year or two.

Wasn't there quite a large 'nursery' at Middleham, as Anne had taken the Clarence children into her household, even though they were older than her own child? It might also have included one or both of R's known illegimate children - Alice Burgh (potentially John of Pomfret's mother) was a nursery maid there I seem tor recall from Wilkinson ?
 
Marie, I'm glad you've got Edward's birth at 1476, which is where I am too.  The marriage seems to have taken place between Spring 1472 (they also couldn't marry during Lent) and Autumn 1472, when there is a document referring to the Dukes of Clarence and Gloucester and their wives. I have often wondered why the birth of a child seems to have taken so long, unless Anne had some sort of condition which seemed to afflict the Warwick women (I'm not a doctor so couldn't say).
 
Don't know whether this helps?  H.

Marie replied:

"Edward was possibly not yet turned eight - he seems to have been born in
the late spring or summer of 1476, not 1473 as often quoted in books."

So, he was eight rather than eleven? Scarcely past what could be considered
a baby, then! Which could explain his nurse still being in his household; a
familiar, presumably well-liked face to a very young child.
I wouldn't think ANY parent would expect their child to die, so any
shock/surprise on Richard and Anne's part at his death would have been
completely natural. After all, Edward had survived what tended to be the
most dangerous part of a child's life, the first year or two.

So on their wedding night Joana would have been wishing she'd married God, while Richard would have closed his eyes and thought of England?

There's a solid scenario for a really good comedy sketch and a really bad romance novel. Poor Richard.

I think they are sweet wafers. Every Richard the Third novel has the Plantagenets gobbling them! Maybe we'll one day find a York coat of arms with one. Maire.

Isabella was suggested for Edward himself. She wrote to Richard after he became King basically congratulating him and saying she'd felt very affronted when Edward had rejected her for an English gentlewoman. I don't think she'd have considered Edward's youngest brother a suitable match.

Edward Earl of Warwick was not much older, having been born in February 1476. He had been the ward of Thomas of Dorset after his father's death, another matter for which it's hard to forgive Edward IV. I suspect that he was as much a child and in need of a nurse as his cousin Edward of Middleham.

Regarding the ostensible poisoning by E of M's nurse: Wouldn't a poisoner aiming to destroy the Yorkist line also poison George's son? The death of Edward of Middleham left open the reversal of the attainder to make the little earl the next heir--as Henry VII knew all too well.

I can't help remembering George of Clarence's judicial murder of John Thursby for ostensibly murdering his baby son (along with the better known hanging of Ankarette Twynyho for ostensibly poisoning his wife). George was almost certainly wrong in his assumptions (and unquestionably wrong in his actions). I haven't read the article, but I hope that the author has more evidence than George did for her suspicions.

Carol, I take it only your first paragraph is referring to my response?   I was no way inferring that Alice Burgh had anything to do with poisoning or that any poisoning of E of Middleham occurred, merely that 'my beloved gentlewoman' Alice Burgh was there whilst Richard was King and had also worked in the nursery at Warwick before that. Wilkinson made no such allegation either. I was just adding a few facts. I doubt 'my beloved gentlewoman' would have harmed her former lover's child.   H

In "The Last Days of Richard III," John Ashdown-Hill describes a "fish dinner" of Richard's time as "begin[ning] with fruit (cooked apples and ripe figs) and end[ing] with porpoise, mackerel, oysters and cuttle fish." Maybe you should observe Lent as Richard would have! He cites several sources that you may find interesting, including P.W. Hammond's "Food and Feast in Medieval England" (Stroud, 1993, and T. Scully's "The Art of Cookery in the Middle Ages" (Woodbridge, 1995), which if I'm not mistaken contains actual recipes.

Richard III's "nursery" (Was: A suggestion)

Carol responds:

Hi, Hilary. I apologize for lack of clarity. You're right; only the first part of my post was in reference to yours. The rest was in response to the topic in general. I was under the (mistaken?) impression that the poisoning suggestion was in this same thread and I was trying to post all my thoughts about the children in Richard's "nursery" in the same message. I was undoubtedly in too big a hurry--so many posts, so little time.

By the way, I wasn't confusing Alice Burgh (Richard's ostensible former mistress) with Anne Idley (his son's ostensible poisoner), but I think I did confuse Wilkinson's book with the one that mentioned the poisoning. Can you give me the author's full name and title again and tell me whether it's a novel or a nonfiction work? And can anyone provide the title of the book or article that discusses the poisoning (which I still feel needs very strong evidence to be credible)?

I've changed the subject line to make it fit the topic a little better. Maybe that will help prevent confusion. Or maybe my poor brain is just tired.

I wonder why they were pushing for this marriage so hard. They were negotiating the marriage even before Anne was dead..... Johanna was a little older than Richard right? If they wanted to have an heir asap, shouldn't they have chosen a younger bride? 34 would have been old for those times.....(I am 36 and think I am just starting my life)

The double marriage discussed by Brampton in Portugal must have been a possibility considered by Richard's council once it was clear that Anne was dying, but Brampton didn't go over to Portugal until after Anne's death.
Having a nephew as an heir was by no means the same thing, in terms of security, as having a son of your own. The lack of both a son and a wife (ie the means of making an heir) made Richard very vulnerable. With Henry Tudor supported by France, Richard also needed a strong foreign backer of his own.

> Carol, I take it only your first paragraph is referring to my response?   I was no way inferring that Alice Burgh had anything to do with poisoning or that any poisoning of E of Middleham occurred, merely that 'my beloved gentlewoman' Alice Burgh was there whilst Richard was King and had also worked in the nursery at Warwick before that. Wilkinson made no such allegation either. I was just adding a few facts. I doubt 'my beloved gentlewoman' would have harmed her former lover's child.   

Carol responds:

Hi, Hilary. I apologize for lack of clarity. You're right; only the first part of my post was in reference to yours. The rest was in response to the topic in general. I was under the (mistaken?) impression that the poisoning suggestion was in this same thread and I was trying to post all my thoughts about the children in Richard's "nursery" in the same message. I was undoubtedly in too big a hurry--so many posts, so little time.

By the way, I wasn't confusing Alice Burgh (Richard's ostensible former mistress) with Anne Idley (his son's ostensible poisoner), but I think I did confuse Wilkinson's book with the one that mentioned the poisoning. Can you give me the author's full name and title again and tell me whether it's a novel or a nonfiction work? And can anyone provide the title of the book or article that discusses the poisoning (which I still feel needs very strong evidence to be credible)?

I've changed the subject line to make it fit the topic a little better. Maybe that will help prevent confusion. Or maybe my poor brain is just tired.

Carol responds:

Assuming that the pond isn't in a public park! But what about His Holiness, the soon-to-retire Pope? I'm not sure, not being Catholic, but I think poultry is considered meat. And swan, being a luxury, would not be permitted either. I think the fowl, er, foul taste associated with swan probably relates to it's being spoiled. As we all know, there was no refrigeration in Richard's time, which is why spices were so valuable.

Shrimp gumbo, or something like that, would work, though. Or catfish jumbalaya. (Don't laugh. I've never been to N'Awlins.)

Yes, indeed. There was a legend about how it started life as a fish but I can't remember it now; I've got a feeling we have the account of a foreign nobleman who was served it by Clarence during Lent and didn't believe the explanation at all.

It was always found in and around barnacles therefore barnacles must be its eggs, we all know that barnacles are fish QED it cannot possibly be a bird so it must be a fish that we can eat on Friday and other religious holidays.
True medieval logic...

I know what you mean. I'm tired of current cussing: it's based on body shame, classism, and blasphemy. What to replace it with is the challenge. Growling "May you never" through gritted teeth always works for me. Also, when I found out that the captain of the Costa Concordia was named "Schettino", that gave me two ready-made pieces of invective for the new millennium: "schetthead" and "full of schett". Too, someone here called some clueless antiRicardian a "Tudor-lover" the other day, and I promptly stole it.

[Grinning.] The portraitists in royal houses in the late 15th century always caught the least flattering moments, didn't they? I don't know that the likeness is all that exact; it looks like the same style as the Elizabeth of York portrait--that pinched face was considered saintly or something. We don't have any records that Joanna's promenades 'round the castle curdled the milk or caused the dogs to go into convulsions; maybe it's just an unfaithful likeness.

Josephine Wilkinson - Richard the Young King to Be
I know Paul hates her and it's not the best structured , but it does introduce some fresh concepts, one of which gets away from Kendall's romantic notion of Richard and Anne frollicking in the dales after 1472.

I don't hate her, I just found the book stodgy to put it mildly! We
really don't need the life story of each and every saint ever mentioned
in the chronicles of the era. But that is what we get. And a lot of her
conclusions about events in Richard's life are flimsy and not that well
researched.
Of course the lack of research pales against that shown in Hipshon's
biography, which at 1483 suddenly swings across to the traditionalist
viewpoint, as if he gave up or got bored, or lost his researchers!
Unlike his wonderful book Richard III and The Death of Chivalry which I
heartedly recommend, I would say avoid!!!! I thought he relaly liked him
and was majorly disappointed at his volte face in the biography.

Yes I agree on the saints thing - she really should have had someone advise her on its structure before she published it. And Vol 2 has never appeared?
 
I loved 'Death of Chivalry' too. That's why it's mad when Schama points to Richard as the ultimate Machiavellian (recent FT article). If he had been he arguably wouldn't have ended up as he did.

Carol responds:

As Marie points out, she took the reference from Horrox. She didn't do the research herself. And she seems to be taking it a little too far without doing further research though I confess to have stopped reading Wilkinson early on as I found some of her interpretations so far from the mark as to be disturbing. The payment doesn't specify the service. Depending on the date, she might have been a midwife or watched over little Edward during an illness. I don't think we should take small, unspecified references to a person and expand on them, especially since more than one person all too often shared a name. The more often such speculations are repeated without further evidence, the more quickly they harden into truth. We have only to look at Jo Appleby's widely publicized "hunchback" remarks to see that happening before our eyes.
