22 August, 1485

Remember Before God Richard III, King of England and those who fell at
Bosworth Field, having kept faith August 22, 1485

Loyaulte me lie

We may have lost the day at Bosworth, but we will win the war to
return your honor and clean name.

Absolutely. This is the important thing. It seems to me the only
valid struggle (from that viewpoint) is amassing the evidence and
arguing the interpretation. Sowly tipping the balance of academic
opinion.

A sad memory for all of us who care, and that is a refreshingly
large number of people. I hope to add another ten this year with
luck as I get my mitts on the new A level students, and even if I
can't convince I can at least make them consider the possibilities.
If we keep chipping away we may yet put right this deep wrong.
May Richard and his friends who died on the 22nd and the days
following rest in peace.

I am sure that we can rely on you to send out another well-drilled
batallion of teenage recruits to Richard's Army.
