Fw: [Richard III Society Forum] Re: Incorrect information in a book
The book does not fail to note the Scrope marriage, as you would know if you'd read it. Clearly you have not, which is why you are guilty of this particular error. Get your facts right before you jump in with all guns blazing. Sometimes they backfire. =^..^= From: mailto: Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2014 11:35 AM To: Subject: Re: Incorrect information in a book review in the latest Bulletin
Let me understand: Sandra Heath Wilson writes an entire book of undocumented
slanderous crap on a person that cannot defend himself (and she does the same
with Henry VII in the following book by the way) but she is splitting hairs that
Cicely was 14 at the beginning of the book, not when the fiction has her end up
in bed with her uncle because by then she would be 16 so it would be perfectly
acceptable?
Well, I do spouse Ms Wilson's request to amend the error in
the next bulletin. Accuracy for accuracy, let's publish Cecily's whole wiki
profile, from which I derive the following information
Cecily of York, Viscountess Welles (20 March 1469 24
August 1507) was an English Princess and the third, but eventual second
surviving, daughter of Edward IV.
Cecily was married to a Ralph Scrope of
Upsall, a younger brother of Thomas Scrope, 6th Baron Scrope of Masham, and a
supporter of Richard, but the marriage was annulled on the accession of her
future brother-in-law, Henry Tudor, as King Henry VII of England. Many
published works fail to note this earlier, nullified, marriage.
