King Richard III News – Long Overdue Updates

Published December 8, 2013 | By CDoart

 
I am most certainly behind with reporting about the King Richard news.
Real life intervenes quite heavily right now. Sorry. I will try my best to keep up with the news.
 
But now here comes the news collected in the meantime since I fell off the plateau of the earth:
(Due to its length, the articles are arranged in a changed order – from new to old news.)
 

♛ King Richard Armitage ♛

 
Our king, Richard Armitage, will visit Berlin, the German capital, for the European premiere of the second “Hobbit” film “The Desolation of Smaug” on Monday, 9th of December 2013.
 
For this event a Bavarian FanClub banner was created to welcome Richard Armitage in Germany and celebrate ‘our king’:

  • The Guardian: The King’s Grave: The Search for Richard III by Philippa Langley and Michael Jomes – review, by Thomas Penn (30.10.2013) – Quite detailed review about “The King’s Grave” by Philippa Langley and Michael Jones.
    Though, I must say, as one with a sibling having a similar condition as King Richard III had, just lower on the back, but almost as severe, I vehemently insist (!) on calling it a ‘condition’ and not a ‘disability’.
    The reviewer Mr. Penn should do some more medical research in this aspect, then he perhaps would recognize that this ‘condition’ not necessarily disables the afflicted from doing anything.
    In the case of King Richard III, the way and position his skeleton was found in could also have added to the severeness of the ‘condition’. So to really judge how much ‘disabled’ he was because of this ‘condition’ would necessitate a time-travel jump to see him alive.
    Seeing my sibling and comparing their ‘conditions’, I would even go so far as to think that the ‘condition’ only became known because of the exposure of his naked body after his death and posed a great opportunity to ‘bedevil’ the dead predecessor on the throne. This also would answer, why no contemporary source exists which mentions King Richard III’s ‘condition’ before his death.
    Though this is no total proof, as Henry Tudor and his minions were quite meticulous with destroying all evidence of his predecessor. So we for once might thank Henry Tudor for this cleaned up picture of King Richard III or this eternal riddle.
    Perhaps Thomas Penn, who also is the author of the book “The Winter King: Henry VII and the Dawn of Tudor England” about the reign of King Henry VII and the foundation of the Tudor dynasty, reveals more about the Tudor king’s way of transforming the perception and creating the story for history there. Though the topic of his book alone show, where his favours in the Battle of Bosworth lie.

  • Express: Book Review: The search for Richard III by Philippa Langley and Michael Jones, by Nigel Jones (06.10.2013) – The author of this review perhaps best describes his own review:

    curiously lop-sided

    The review is – as far as I can tell – solely based on the reading of the index and appendix of the book, which does not highly recommend its accuracy or significance to me, especially as it is in complete disagreement with the previous review by IoniaMartin. As the reviewer also has written a book about the Tower and the Princes in the Tower, it seems his review is more in his own defence, rather than an objective critique of the new publication.
    I will hold back my final judgement till I get my version of “The King’s Grave. The Search for Richard III”, but so far this review only reached to confirm my opinion that historians don’t like to re-research comfortably settled and accepted ‘truths’, even when new aspects arise.

Happy Birthday, King Richard !!!

Published October 2, 2013 | By CDoart

 

Happy 561st birthday, King Richard III !

 

King Richard III’s first birthday after being found !

 
 
Let’s celebrate a king, who, after over 500 years can activate a fierce followership and easily start a – no, what am I talking about – numerous burning controversies.
Who else from history can say that about himself after all that time.
 
 

  • Matt Lewis (AuthorBlog): Happy Birthday King Richard III! (02.10.2013) – And with King Richard III we can well say in all controversy and while celebrating the freedom of controversy:

    Stand strong and true for that which you believe in. Do not be silenced.

    •  

  • Karen Lewis on Facebook shared a wonderful Birthday announcement for King Richard III. (As I did not ask for permission to re-post in time, I only include the link to the picture and do not embed it here, but the wonderful picture should be visible even if you do not have a Facebook account.)

    •  
     
    Now, how best to celebrate a king?

  • Of course with song and music, one especially created and composed for King Richard III, like the song “Douce Dame” by The Orpheus Project (see our interview with composer team MaryAnn & Michael Tedstone):

    •  

     
    Or would you like to celebrate with an audio play?

  • Try the BBC production of “The Daughter of Time” by Josephine Tey, where a modern day inspector researches the crimes of King Richard III and in the end finds him …
    Upcoming broadcasts begin on Monday, 7 Oct 2013 on BBC Radio 4. (See BBC page for the play and schedule here.)

    •  
     

  • Leicester Mercury: British Bake-Off contestant creates Richard III birthday cake, by Peter Warzynski (02.10.2013) – With this cake, I almost wish King Richard III could come into our time. Considering he never ever ate a piece of chocolate or ever tasted chocolate cake? How I would like to send him one piece of that lovely cake to try. (I certainly must try the recipe myself.)

    •  
    King Richard III must feel right at home in modern times and we have a strange way of making him feel welcome.
    But he certainly must see the parallels to his time. Skirmishes everywhere and all ready to do battle.
    What a perfect continuation of the Wars of the Roses in its modern form.
    I even feel compelled to say that he might be glad, that his duty as king is over and he now can continue as a spectator.
     
    But the whole movements are perfect to finally give King Richard III the attention he deserves and even if you don’t agree with the one or other argument, at least they are a perfect marketing way to draw interest to his wishes, which nobody considered (during his life and especially) at and after his death 500 years ago.
     

     

    Want to know more about King Richard III?

     
    If you want to learn more about King Richard III and his time and life, the University of Leicester will hold a free online course (distance learning) on the platform FutureLearn.
    See the announcement for it on Medievalists.net.
     
    The course will be held by Senior Lecturer in Archaeology and Ancient History, Deirdre O’Sullivan from the University of Leicester
    and will start on 25th of November 2013.
    Duration: 6 weeks
    Approx. time: 2 hours per week
    No previous experiences necessary, so, if interested, join the online course here.
     
     

    ♛ King Richard III ♛

     

     

    Due to strange internet connectivity problems, this post unfortunately is very late. Still I hope, King Richard III has/had great 561st birthday celebrations.
    My internet connection gets a complete technical check by the provider next Monday and hopefully the source of all the problems will finally be found and eliminated.

    KRA-Week 2013-7: Finding Richard III as a Result of Historical Research – Dr. Ashdown-Hill

    Published August 27, 2013 | By CDoart

     
    KRA-Week 2013 - Banner 2

    Links: King Richard Week 2013 & Quiz

     
     

    ! Attention !

     

    Last day of quiz-entries taking part in the drawing!
    (Today till midnight [GMT] !)
    Quiz prizes are: Two books by
    Isolde Martyn “The Devil in Ermine”

     
     
     

    ♕ ♛ ♕

     

    History’s new potential

     

    in the discoveries of Dr. John Ashdown-Hill

     

     
     
    Why a special article about Historian Dr. Ashdown-Hill here, during the KRA week, when we already had interviews and present his research work here on the website?
     

     
    And other articles already covered the topic of ‘airbrushing’ Dr. Ashdown-Hill out of the story of finding King Richard III:

     
    There was something I needed to figure out and I want to present some of my thoughts and results to you here.
     
     

    Dr. John Ashdown-Hill

    Dr. John Ashdown-Hill


    Dr. Ashdown-Hill is an open-minded researcher, who searched for facts, where others readily followed legend – over centuries.
     
    As the dissection of legend in the case of King Richard III was so very important, to even allow the beginning of the search, I cannot readily understand, why the one man, doing all the work mostly singlehandedly, strongly believing in the validity of his finds, does not get the praise he deserves.
     
    It required already great effort together with Philippa Langley, to even raise sufficient doubt with researchers and officials in Leicester, to get their agreement to do a paid contracted search and give all the required permissions for the digging.
    (And here a big motive for the specialists was that they could at least find other historically significant material for Leicester, to make it worth their while, which in the end caused their agreement to start digging.)
     
    But why chose exactly this location for the digging, when the supposed location, indicated by a plaque, was so far away from it?
    That was the result of a meticulous research of maps and sources about Leicester – done by Dr. John Ashdown-Hill.
    He recognized, that some newer maps were inaccurate (the street drawn at the wrong side of the Greyfriars’ church, according to written sources of contemporaries) and the old medieval streets must have been located a bit differently from what reconstructions of historical Leicester so far made believe.
    This changed the location and the area of research entirely and was based on the research of Dr. John Ashdown-Hill.
    So, why is there no mention of this fact?
     
    You would think, after all this research so essential for finding King Richard III, there should be a hall of fame for Dr. Ashdown-Hill.
    Perhaps next year’s opening of the King Richard Museum in Leicester will remedy that fact and will give praise where praise so clearly is deserved.
     
    We at the KRA website already started our small contribution to a ‘hall of fame’ here and hope to be able to contribute to set things straight.
     
     
    One aspect, which especially fascinates me in the work of Dr. Ashdown-Hill, is his research, remaining unbiased by the ‘mainstream’ line of previous historical research and starting to get to the fact beneath layers of wrong and long traded interpretation.
     
    This is a fact which exceedingly makes me happy about the research of Dr. John Ashdown-Hill and the finding of King Richard III.
    It gives me hope for the art of history in its entirety, that with new perspectives and openness, history with its extensive tools and methods is able to discover great things about the past in the future.
    History loses its dust cover and the strictures and rules by some self announced dictators and starts to get truly ‘researchable’ again.
     
     
    So the real questions about King Richard III for me are not
    will he be buried in York or Leicester or …,
    was he a good or bad king,
    was he a saint or murderer,
     
    but that finding him was able to break up traditional perceptions of a story and a new approach was found and the truth behind it was revealed, after over 500 years!
     
    This fact alone makes me absolutely jubilant!
     
    History is no static entity any longer, but a playground opened up for new research. (While ‘playground’ not in the slightest means this is an easy task, but what history always has been, hard work and an enormous accumulation of knowledge of all kind.)
     
    So go and search and keep your mind open for any possible result!!!
     
     
    I hope to find out much more about the developments and events leading to the archaeological research in Leicester in the new book by Philippa Langley announced for the end of October 2013:
    .
     
    And Dr. John Ashdown-Hill publishes his new research about royal marriage traditions and currently works on a new book about Richard III’s third brother, George, Duke of Clarence:

    News Breaks – Relatives Claim Accepted – King Richard III Worth a Precedent

    Published August 16, 2013 | By CDoart

     

    ♛ Battle of the Cities ♛

     
    The appeal by the distant relatives of King Richard III, who formed the Plantagenet Alliance, has been granted. They now have permission to get a judical review of the decision for Leicester as the last resting place.
     

    The University of Leicester issued the following official statement today:

    The University maintains that it is entirely proper and fitting that the remains of Richard III, Duke of Gloucester, be buried in the magnificent holy setting of Leicester Cathedral, near where his remains had lain for centuries and where they were finally discovered as a result of what the court described as ‘the inspired, determined and meticulous work’ of the University and members of the Richard III Society. The University will now liaise with the Ministry of Justice with a view to ascertaining how it wishes to proceed.

    And notes:

    • The Dig for Richard III was led by the University of Leicester, working with Leicester City Council and in association with the Richard III Society. The originator of the Search project was Philippa Langley of the Richard III Society.
    • Dr John Ashdown-Hill was instrumental tracking down the descendants of Richard’s sister Anne of York, Joy Ibsen and her son Michael Ibsen, whose DNA, along with that of a second individual traced by Leicester academic Professor Kevin Schürer, was critical to identifying the remains found at Greyfriars in Leicester.

    4 More Days …

    Published August 15, 2013 | By CDoart

     

    … till our celebrations and commemoration week begins …

     

    King Richard Armitage Week 2013

     

    is coming up fast!

     

    21st – 28th of August, 2013

     
    KRA-Week 2013-02
     
    The page for the event is already created and available, though content there will be added from 21st of August, 2013, the beginning of the event, onwards.
    Safe the date, take part in the upcoming quiz during the event week and enjoy fan-tastic history with us.
     
     

    A few days more to live …

     
    Not only happy memories are connected with the 22nd of August, though surely a certain Birthday lets the fandom of Richard Armitage celebrate this day. (You can leave your Birthday Wishes at specially destined places in the fandom. Thankfully Servetus created a special list of the options, to help you find the place of your choice.)
     
    What makes this time in August especially significant to me is the fact that King Richard III’s remains were found on the estimated day his remains were buried by the Franciscan friars in their church in Leicester. So maybe the king has a certain sense for anniversaries and their special significance.
     
    In this sense, let’s celebrate and commemorate his life, the life of a wonderful actor and the sensational find, bringing all strings magically together – in Leicester.
     
    Commemoration and Re-Enactment of the Battle of Bosworth
    begins already before the actual event
    on Saturday, 17th of August 2013 !
    For more information, please visit the Bosworth Battlefield website about this year’s:

    • Liverpool Daily Post: I can’t accept Richard III sounds like a pantomime country bumpkin with a terrible nose cold, by Laura Davis (08.08.2013) – I am not alone with my reservations. Though my doubts are more along the lines of the well nourished head replica, while King Richard III in sources is mentioned as rather slim and ascetic looking, which the portraits – unfortunately no exact one survived from his lifetime – would confirm.

    • The Framework Blog: August Is Hot: Proud Moment, by Violet (12.08.2013) – Violet discovered

      “Blood Royal” reminds me quite a lot about the genealogy of the Plantagenet.
      Here e.g. The Clarence Volume: “The Plantagenet Roll of Blood Royal […]” by the Marquis of Ruvigny and Raineval.
      The Preface might especially be interesting for someone researching European Royalty.
