The nitty gritty of timings, the written evidence ( and the search for more as yet undiscovered or translated) and other first source material is crucial to uncovering the” Truth” as much as it can be discerned. I just feel that ” The truth is out there ” to quote a phrase.

Love your blog! It’s like an almost daily fix! Thought I’d share a poem I wrote on my blog below:

Hello. Just discovered this blog whilst searching for additional information after participating in “Rewriting Richard” at RSC last night. I’m beginning to wonder if the loathsome black stuff (aka as Pontefract Cakes) played some part in the disappearance of the princes in the tower. After all both Richard lll and also Richard ll had strong Pomfret connections? Any takers?

Would you mind reaching out to me? I have a very specific question regarding the historical bridges over the Severn – specifically near Shrewsbury – that I’d like to discuss. talvoriandex@gmail.com. Thanks!

What do you want to know? I’m not that much of an expert, but may know something. I live close to the Severn estuary, not upstream in Shrewsbury!

I enjoyed your Feb. 9 essay on Richrd III, the Talbotts and Titulus Regius. It seems the effects of Tudor propaganda are longlasting. This goes for any attempt to rehabilitate Richard III to the treatment of Catholics and the Catholic Church under Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.

Thankyou. The pre-contract does explain everyone’s subsequent conduct but it was nice to read about the Talbots as a family.
