Suitable links have been thin on the ground for the last couple of days
(well, virtually nonexistent as being worth posting) but this one, if brief, is
certainly of interest to us.
http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/main-topics/general-news/hunt-set-to-begin-for-richard-iii-s-favourite-york-haunt-1-6518317
and then there's this. http://www.gloucestercitizen.co.uk/Reader-letter-Richard-III-killer-king-did-just/story-20845201-detail/story.html
Someone's view of Richard's reign and legacy.
And I'm going to see the exhibition again on Thursday  just to be certain
I didn't miss anything the first time. And I've got until the 30th to maybe take
one last look. I'll be bereft when it leaves!

One link today, but I found it very interesting indeed, if not fascinating.
It's very long, very well written, and is an eye-witness blog about the Judicial
Review. I apologize for the mentions of Max Clifford's appendage, but the blog
itself is definitely worth reading. IMHO anyway.

Well, I'm not quite sure about this review in The Independent. It is not
balanced. Will Gore has no sympathy for the emotional' Ricardian side of
events, describes the Leicester archaeologists as pragmatic' (read sensible and
worthy), and almost writes Richard? Richard who? Oh, him. The bloke invented by
Shakespeare and those great Tudor guys. After reading this review, I was left
with more of an impression of Mr. Gore than the book he was writing about. He
criticises the book, praises the book, and in the end sides with archaeology in
general. Which, to me, isn't the point. This was no ordinary archaeological dig,
no matter what the Leicester team thought. They didn't look beyond the end of
their collective nose. Yet they are the heroes, Richard III wasn't worth a t-ss,
and his supporters are soppy, maybe even certifiable. Huh? Oh, well. If I were
Mike Pitts, the author, I'd be bemused. I'll be buying the book. Good luck to

Well, I'm not quite sure about this review in The Independent. It is not balanced. Will Gore has no sympathy for the emotional' Ricardian side of events, describes the Leicester archaeologists as pragmatic' (read sensible and worthy), and almost writes
Richard? Richard who? Oh, him. The bloke invented by Shakespeare and those great Tudor guys. After reading this review, I was left with more of an impression of Mr. Gore than the book he was writing about. He criticises the book, praises the book, and in
the end sides with archaeology in general. Which, to me, isn't the point. This was no ordinary archaeological dig, no matter what the Leicester team thought. They didn't look beyond the end of their collective nose. Yet they are the heroes, Richard III wasn't
worth a t-ss, and his supporters are soppy, maybe even certifiable. Huh? Oh, well. If I were Mike Pitts, the author, I'd be bemused. I'll be buying the book. Good luck to you, Mike.

Henry didn't like turncoats. He benefited from them, but didn't trust them
one jot. And rightly so, IMHO. If a man will turn his coat once, he is likely to
do it again. Our Enery was not one to forgive and forget such things. He didn't
feel safe enough. I hope he NEVER felt safe, not for a single day. He stole the
throne and was responsible for the murder of an infinitely better man. So boo
hiss to all those who did the dirty on Richard. A knighthood is too good, come
to think of it. Henry must have had a few too many when he made that decision.

Well, I'm not quite sure about this review in The Independent. It is
not balanced. Will Gore has no sympathy for the emotional' Ricardian side
of events, describes the Leicester archaeologists as pragmatic' (read
sensible and worthy), and almost writes Richard? Richard who? Oh, him. The
bloke invented by Shakespeare and those great Tudor guys. After reading
this review, I was left with more of an impression of Mr. Gore than the book
he was writing about. He criticises the book, praises the book, and in the
end sides with archaeology in general. Which, to me, isn't the point. This
was no ordinary archaeological dig, no matter what the Leicester team
thought. They didn't look beyond the end of their collective nose. Yet they
are the heroes, Richard III wasn't worth a t-ss, and his supporters are
soppy, maybe even certifiable. Huh? Oh, well. If I were Mike Pitts, the
author, I'd be bemused. I'll be buying the book. Good luck to you,
Mike.

He didn't like ditherers either - those who couldn't quite make up their mind. Now Edward was brilliant with them; give them a bear hug (or a knighthood) and he'd won them over. Poor old Richard didn't like ditherers either, but then if a man was loyal to a cause how could he hesitate? What never fails to amaze me is how our Henery tolerated the arch-ditherer of all ditherers, Mr T Stanley. Ma must have been powerful indeed. And yes, quite a few of those who plotted against Richard ended up on the scaffold themselves when they'd decided the grass wasn't greener. Pity a King had to die to prove it.

He didn't like ditherers either - those who couldn't quite make up their

and he'd won them over. Poor old Richard didn't like ditherers either, but then
if a man was loyal to a cause how could he hesitate?
What never fails to amaze me is how our Henery tolerated the arch-ditherer
of all ditherers, Mr T Stanley. Ma must have been powerful indeed.

Oh, agreed agreed about Penn's missing volume, Hilary! I was hugely
dismayed to find The Winter King only started halfway through Henry's reign. But
poor Henry, eh? Surrounded by white roses and arsenic (or whatever). I too have
him being the target of a poisoner, although nothing to do with smearing the
stuff where he'll touch it. No wonder he was paranoid. But going about it the
way Arthurson mentions seems rather haphazard. How could they be sure of getting
Henry? They might have killed everyone else, leaving him the last man standing.

Sandra there is some lovely stuff in the Ian Arthurson book about how a
little group set out to poison him (HT not Stanley) and then got the wind up at
the last moment. The idea was to put poison on door handles, down door jambs
etc. HT got more and more itchy about all this (sorry not from the poison) and
withdrew into his own room with his own guard - was that the forming of the
Beefeaters? So he no longer had an open Privy Chamber where you could go and
meet him. To get at him was like going through security at an airport. What a
life! As you say Richard must have been looking over his shoulder
grinning.
I know now why Penn didn't start his book at the beginning of the reign -
it warrants a volume on its own. H

He didn't like ditherers either - those who couldn't quite make up their

and he'd won them over. Poor old Richard didn't like ditherers either, but then
if a man was loyal to a cause how could he hesitate?
What never fails to amaze me is how our Henery tolerated the arch-ditherer
of all ditherers, Mr T Stanley. Ma must have been powerful indeed.
And yes, quite a few of those who plotted against Richard ended up on the
scaffold themselves when they'd decided the grass wasn't greener. Pity a King

Well, I'm not quite sure about this review in The Independent. It is
not balanced. Will Gore has no sympathy for the emotional' Ricardian side
of events, describes the Leicester archaeologists as pragmatic' (read
sensible and worthy), and almost writes Richard? Richard who? Oh, him. The
bloke invented by Shakespeare and those great Tudor guys. After reading
this review, I was left with more of an impression of Mr. Gore than the book
he was writing about. He criticises the book, praises the book, and in the
end sides with archaeology in general. Which, to me, isn't the point. This
was no ordinary archaeological dig, no matter what the Leicester team
thought. They didn't look beyond the end of their collective nose. Yet they
are the heroes, Richard III wasn't worth a t-ss, and his supporters are
soppy, maybe even certifiable. Huh? Oh, well. If I were Mike Pitts, the
author, I'd be bemused. I'll be buying the book. Good luck to you,

Well, I'm not quite sure about this review in The Independent. It is not
balanced. Will Gore has no sympathy for the emotional' Ricardian side of
events, describes the Leicester archaeologists as pragmatic' (read sensible and
worthy), and almost writes Richard? Richard who? Oh, him. The bloke invented by
Shakespeare and those great Tudor guys. After reading this review, I was left
with more of an impression of Mr. Gore than the book he was writing about. He
criticises the book, praises the book, and in the end sides with archaeology in
general. Which, to me, isn't the point. This was no ordinary archaeological dig,
no matter what the Leicester team thought. They didn't look beyond the end of
their collective nose. Yet they are the heroes, Richard III wasn't worth a t-ss,
and his supporters are soppy, maybe even certifiable. Huh? Oh, well. If I were
Mike Pitts, the author, I'd be bemused. I'll be buying the book. Good luck to

The research paper is in 'The Lancet' but there's a good summary here:http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/may/30/richard-iii-no-bunch-backed-toad-hunchback-research-lancetAn article in 'The Telegraph' article includes a few scan images, but it's undermined by a crass headline and confused use of terminology in the text.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/10863315/Richard-IIIs-hunchback-would-not-have-held-him-back-in-battle.htmlSome helpful comments from Jo Appleby:Although the scoliosis looks dramatic, it probably did
not cause a major physical deformity. This is because he had a well-balanced curve. The condition would have meant
that his trunk was short in comparison to the length of his limbs, and his
right shoulder would have been slightly higher than the left, but this could
have been disguised by custom-made armour and by having a good tailor. (The) curve would not have prevented Richard from being an active individual,
and there is no evidence that Richard had a limp as his curve was well
balanced and his leg bones were normal and symmetric. Jonathan From: "'SandraMachin' sandramachin@... []" <> To: Sent: Friday, 30 May 2014, 8:36 Subject: Fw: Press articles about Richard

Late today  I've been on a day out to Minster Lovell and to see the holy
well at St Margaret's Church, Binsey, Oxon. The first was seen in the mist, and
the latter was very quiet and peaceful. Both were atmospheric. People still
leave flowers at the well. Worth a visit.
However, here are some links for today. Nothing to set the world on fire,
I'm afraid.

We're in the doldrums regarding interesting articles about Richard. I'm
sure you don't want to read more about petitions for where he is to be buried,
how many awards the Leicester team are getting or what's what in the latest
productions of the Shakespeare play  unless it's something really exciting and
different...or just plain weird. So all I have to offer today is:-
http://www.hinckleytimes.net/news/local-news/new-history-trail-richard-iii-7029230
No doubt we'll be inundated with links when the judicial review is finally
settled. Soon please! The suspense is awful.

Jonathan quoted Jo Appleby:"Although the scoliosis looks dramatic, it probably did
not cause a major physical deformity. This is because he had a well-balanced curve. The condition would have meant
that his trunk was short in comparison to the length of his limbs, and his
right shoulder would have been slightly higher than the left, but this could
have been disguised by custom-made armour and by having a good tailor. (The) curve would not have prevented Richard from being an active individual,
and there is no evidence that Richard had a limp as his curve was well
balanced and his leg bones were normal and symmetric. Carol responds:It's good to see Jo Appleby redeeming herself. Unfortunately, her unprofessional conduct and terminology ("He's a hunchback!") in the documentary was more memorable than this informed and articulate explanation--which has not kept the headline writers from using the word "hunchback."Looking forward to the Lancet article, which I hope will appear online. Meanwhile, the scans of the 3D skeleton are a great improvement over the 2D version we had before (again, courtesy of Jo Appleby). I wonder if she has gained some knowledge about and respect for Richard as a king and a man as she learned about his skeleton. I hope so.Carol

I thought that Jo Appleby was trying to redeem herself too. She probably realizes that she would have had many more requests to speak to Ricardian groups if she had thought before she commented in the film. However,I think it is probably too little too late.

Agreed, her ham handed use of the mattock, plus her stupid quips show immaturity, and a very flawed technique. I hope she was disciplined as well as cautioned to be more careful in her abilities and her comments.

Isn't it time to forgive Dr Appleby? She has ultimately done a good job on the skeleton, and declared to the world that Richard wasn't a "hunchback."

I agree with you, but in her case, unlike your date for the battle of Waterloo, there is no way she can change what happened. It will probably hang over her career, but she is doing very good work now, and the points made in all the newspapers this week as a result of her work are very helpful to the society.
So I say if she does a lecture near any of us, we should try to go, and be prepared to be forgiving.

I only had the chance to correct the error in subsequent issues of the
book, not the original. Which I guess is where Dr. Appleby is at too. The
original error remains, no matter what. That's all I'm saying, not that we

Absolutely agree. How many of us have never made mistakes in our working lives, still less with the all the pressure of television cameras watching over us for a sustained period to catch every unguarded or ill-chosen word?JonathanP.S.

She probably realizes that she would have had many more requests to speak to Ricardian groups if she had thought before she commented in the film. However,I think it is probably too little too late.

Not a press article; but did anyone else see Aneurin Barnard last night in "Under Milk Wood?"
Lots of very famous Welsh people were in it, it was very well done.
When Aneurin came on, I thought, I know you, you were Richard III.

Jan here again.From one of the videos linked from the Lancet article in a discussion of the  king's spine one speaker said he would have lost 2 or 3 inches, making him by my reckoning 5'6. - 5'5. Would that be the average height for men in the late C15?On 31 May 2014, at 14:41, "Gilda Felt gildaevf@... []" <> wrote:

It was very well done and they all did very well considering that some of them were singers and not actors. The only thing I would say is that no one was as good as Richard Burton as the narrator.Mary
