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.

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.

Knowing the area, I was amused by the comment from "Plockton" at the end of the page (although Donington le Heath itself is rather nice).

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.

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. H

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

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. After all, that was his usual role. BTW, out of interest, who was in the group?

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

Most links are still solely about the decision, but here's something about a new book on who actually killed Richard at Bosworth. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/richard-iiis-killer-really-welshman-7168556 Sandra =^..^= From: SandraMachin Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2014 10:06 AM To: Subject: Re: Press articles about Richard The news about the final decision coming on Friday is now well-known.

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.

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.

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."
Perhaps now is the time to get her "onside."
She could be useful to the society.

She'll be haunted ever more. Every time that film is shown, there she is, with the big gaffe and even bigger mattock.

I hope she was disciplined as well as cautioned to be more careful in her abilities and her comments.

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.

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?
