Templars & Richard III & Richard III

No I am correct the 12th Century Richard III heir to the throne, went on a crusade with the Templars c 1183.

You are speaking of the 14th century Richard III. But we cannot discuss the 14th Century without the history that formed the era.

It is also incorrect to say that the Templars were not active throughout the UK. By example it was the Templars who built the Round Church in London and King Henry II was at it's consecration. The Round Church would become the Templars headquarters. They were also the architects of many of the so called Romanesque churches - which were Romanesque on the outside but Egyptian in intent

Look at the ghouls on these corbels -- they are Egyptian.

Observe the (tongue) and the (material in their mouths - 2nd and 3rd photo) and (the open mouths) and the faces that are opposite one another on the doorways - these are all Egyptian and relate to the Egyptian "I have not" commandments rather than the Church's "You shall not" commandments. Had King Henry VIII known that they were Egyptian in 1539 when he had the monasteries destroyed - he'd have destroyed them too

James, England had only one Richard the Third and he lived in the FIFTEENTH century only. The King who reigned from 1189-99 was Richard the FIRST.

I suspect that you found this information online and are repeating and defending someone else's error. There is a lot of correct information on websites but there is a lot of RUBBISH as well. A good amateur historian can sort the wheat from the chaff and recognise an error before relying on it - there are many good amateur historians on this forum.

Ann:

A cross between romanesque and celtic (heavy on the celtic). The
proportions of the faces are out of scale for the Egyptian art canon.

I think you know this subject well enough, Anne.

Can I also add that I find this "Lackington" etymology rather
contrived? Place names do change from time to time - Ipswich was once
Gippeswyk and Great Cornard was Corneath(?) - there is a Lordington
in Sussex in which Sir Geoffrey Pole lived.

There are too many people who think of the "da Vinci Code" as a
documentary, who believe all sorts of rubbish.
