I am not sure that Jarman was privy to any unpublished testimony, after all it is historical fiction a blend of fact and fiction. And speaking of R3 fiction....

Has anyone read Jeremy Potter's "A Trail of Blood" ? A fascinating study of fact and fiction that goes from York versus Lancaster to Church versus State and the fall of the monasteries. Provides an insight to the many chroniclers of Croyland, whose works are analysed by contempary historians. Like Potter himself says..... his version of events is just as plausible as one circulated by three earlier practioners of the art of crime fiction..... H Tudor, T More and W Shakespeare.

I have read the book "We speak no treason". It made me aware of the
plots and machinations around controlling Edward V and dealing
Richard out of the picture. Jarman seemed to be privy to some
unpublished testimony.

Oh good, glad to hear it. I actually *just* picked it up used at a library
sale based solely upon Potter's name and how much I enjoyed his style in
_Good King Richard_. Hadn't read it yet and appreciate the encouraging
thumbnail.

The primary basis of my statement was Jarman's dedication at the
beginning of the book 'For My Mother Who told me the truth'. It gave
me he impression Jarman created the story around some private
testimony.
