ARTICLE: Yorkshire discontent as rivals lay claim to Richard

Summary: "Descendents of the king have claimed officials from Leicester
City Council are ýriding roughshod over historyý after Richard was included
in a list of famous people who had been born or bred in the East Midlands
county...While Richard was born just down the road in Northamptonshire his
life is intrinsically linked with Yorkshire, which played a key role in
establishing his power base in the North of England."

(His descendents have won this particular skirmish.)
