And Richard's disposition and actions were the opposite of how they are portrayed by Shakespere. Yet another traitor wins out. :-(  SignatureJohn Cartmell john@ followed by finnybank.com 0845 006 8822 Qercus magazine FAX +44 (0)8700-519-527 www.finnybank.com Qercus - the best guide to RISC OS computing Yes for an accurate account of Richard III, we have to go to Moore ;) > Yes for an accurate account of Richard III, we have to go to Moore ;) More was hardly unbiased and certainly isn't to be regarded as producing an accurate account - though it may be as accurate as he was allowed to learn. We know of inaccuracies. If you trust More (as knight or saint) then you may learn about the facts that the Tudors allowed out (and some of those they hid).

Did you see the mention of Richard III and his horse in Paul Cartledge's recent book 'Alexander the Great: the hunt for a new past'? When discussing Alexander's fondness for his horse Bucephalas, Cartledge mentions that "our good king Richard III would allegedly have given his kingdom for such an equine" [pages 206-7]. > >bosworth. 1485. the much maligned richard III's reign ended. as the > >stanleys in fine fashion waited to see who was going to win and sold him > >out. > Did you see the mention of Richard III and his horse in Paul Cartledge's > recent book 'Alexander the Great: the hunt for a new past'?

The word 'allegedly' shouldn't allow you to repeat a known lie. I presume PC would be incensed to find another biographer repeat such falsehoods about *his* chosen subject.
