Carol responds:

What she doesn't say is that in Richard's time (and Tudor times--I suspect Stuart times as well), to speak against the king or his government was sedition or treason. There was no concept of freedom of speech or freedom of the press in Richard's time. There was no press in the sense of newspapers and magazines, period.

I'm not sure what you mean by "doing her bit." For Richard or for the traditional view of him? She was right that the reporter made a blunder, but she manages to make Richard's enlightened legislation look like the act of a tyrant. We all know that Colyngbourne did not die for that rhyme alone. His chief crime was correspondence with Henry Tudor.

Doesn't surprise me a bit. She's no friend of Richard's.

Ishita- that's exactly what I meant that she is turning things around to make his legislation look like an act of a tyrant!
