  • Kurier.at: Akte Richard III wird geschlossen, by Martin Burger (December 2, 2014) –

    One of the few articles about King Richard III in German language, but author Martin Burger certainly got something entirely wrong, when he states “file Richard III will now be closed, as all mysteries about the king are now solved”.
    King Richard III holds many more mysteries than just his ancestry and relatives or his hair or eye colour. To separate legend from truth in minor aspects of his story is just the beginning to get a closer understanding of the king, his life and reign and will occupy many more researchers in the future, now that research proved to be able to change historical ‘facts’ and ‘beliefs’, even after more than 500 years.

    While the historical dispute(s) about King Richard III can’t be settled till then and will require further debate and especially well founded research.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  • King Richard in Leicester (Website): Little known Facts, by Sally Henshaw – Richard III Society (September 30, 2014) –

    An overview of not well known facts about King Richard III. Especially point 10 is significant for a re-interpretation of King Richard III’s life, as it is a fact which was only found in archive material in modern times and certainly had not been common knowledge when Shakespeare wrote his version. The fact of the existence of those marriage arrangements sheds new light on the euphoria about an advantageous marriage of King Richard III’s niece Elizabeth, the later wife to Henry VI Tudor.
