  • Leicester Mercury: Medieval fun as Richard centre opens (July 25, 2014) –

    Announcement of events accompanying the official opening of the Richard III Visitor Centre in Leicester on 26 June 2014.

  

  

  • BBC History Extra: Richard III and dirty Tudors (July 24, 2014) –

  • Newsweek: Did Richard III Kill the Princes in the Tower?, by Leanda de Lisle (July 13, 2014) –

    Not really something new about the topic, but a try at an overview of some of the motives involved – from Tudor and Plantagenet perspective.

  

  

  • Leicester Mercury: Richard III: Peppercorn lease agreed for Leicester’s new visitor centre (June 30, 2014) –

    Lease for the visitor centre in Leicester agreed upon.
    I must admit, I am still a bit disappointed that the ‘Richard III Centre’ is not called that, but got the very indistinct name of “Dynasty, Death and Discovery”.
    Fortunately, I trust in the common sense of the visitors, because I don’t think, anyone looking for King Richard III and his centre will look for that invented name, which not even mentions the relevant dynasty of the Plantagenets.
