It was not until long after the Battle of Tewkesbury that the blame for Edward of Lancaster's death was laid at Richard III's door. There was never any such accusation in contemporary accounts. A Yorkist chronicler wrote, "The prince was taken fleeing the townwards, and slain in the field." The Lancastrian chronicler, Warkworth also stated, "and there was slain in the field Prince Edward, which cried for succour to his brother-in-law the Duke of Clarence.

Shakespeare would have us believe that Richard III was also single-handedly responsible for the death of Henry VI. In the play, the death of this feeble monarch at the hand of Richard III, was just another indication of the playwright showing Richard's ruthlessness in removing any roadblocks on his way to gaining the throne. The historical facts indicate otherwise. On Tuesday, May 21 1471, after winning the Battle of Tewkesbury, Edward IV triumphantly entered his capital city of London.

Shakespeare portrays Richard as a hunchback with a withered arm. However, Richard III fought in the Battles of Barnet and Tewkesbury. He led the Scottish campaign during the years of 1480-1482 and was defeated in the Battle of Bosworth. He was known as an accomplished soldier who fought on horseback using weapons and heavy armor of the period. It would be highly unlikely to fight with a physical handicap.

Richard Plantagenet, known as Richard of Gloucester and subsequently Richard III, was born at Fotheringhay Castle on 2nd October, 1452. He was the youngest son and the eleventh of twelve children born to Richard, Duke of York and Cecily Neville. Richard's mother, Cecily Neville, also known as the "Rose of Raby" because of her beauty, was the youngest of twenty two children born to Ralph Neville, earl of Westmoreland.

The life and times of King Richard III has captured the attention of people from all walks of life. Perhaps it is simply the fact that Richard III has been given a false and unfair reputation. He held a direct line to the throne, and by disproving false slanders, it is clear he was a good good. The record of the contemporary sources show a different man and king than the one portrayed by Shakespeare and the Tudor Chronicles. Richard III appealed to the ideals of loyalty, lordship and honor.

Richard III spent most of his in the service of his brother, Edward IV and his country. After his marriage to Anne, Neville, Richard spent the next twelve years in northern England bringing peace and order to an otherwise troublesome area of England. Through his hard work and diligence, he attracted the loyalty and trust of the northern gentry. His ability for fairness and justice became his byword.

Richard III met Anne Neville when he was sent to Middleham Castle, North Yorkshire in 1461 to begin his tutelage under his cousin, Richard Neville, the "Kingmaker". Richard would have become acquainted with the Lady Anne Neville, four years his junior. Richard, then Duke of Gloucester would have been in his cousin's company attending the Festival of the Corpus Christi in York.

The Richard III Foundation, Inc. was established in 2003 as a non-profit educational organization to present a full picture of Richard III, his contemporaries and era. Through research and scholarship, it is shown the Yorkist period was one of progress and enlightened government. The Foundation is active in many diverse areas.

During his Parliament, he issued statutes, but he also founded the College of Arms that still exists today. He re-established the Council of the North in 1484 at Sheriff Hutton. He donated money for the completion of St. George's Chapel at Windsor and King's College in Cambridge. He modernized Barnard Castle, built the great hall at Middleham and the great hall at Sudeley Castle.

for the reasons Hemingway killed himself...there were many. At the age of 61 he had a bad combination of physical and mental ailments caused by a lifetime of neglect and fast living. Mentally he had lost his memory during electroshock treatment at the Mayo clinic. Physically he suffered from rapid weight loss, skin disease, alcoholism, failing eyesight, diabetes, hepatitis, high blood pressure and impotence.

During the sessions for The Wall, Richard Wright was basically forced out of Pink Floyd. One story holds that Waters had even gone so far as to threaten to destroy all the working tapes if Wright didn't leave. Another quotes David Gilmour as saying that Wright wasn't contributing much of anything, and hadn't been for a couple years, partially due to something of "a bad cocaine habit." He did play with the band on The Wall tour, but not as a full member of the band.

With the release of the initial two papers describing chromosomal DNA sequences from a Neandertal, I thought I would put together some frequently asked questions and answers to them. I actually have been frequently asked most of these questions this week -- mostly by journalists -- so I think this is a good list. I'll be following up over the next few weeks with additional details, particularly as some of our own work moves forward.

The long answer goes like this. The backlash from the big scene Pola made at Rudolph Valentino's funeral in 1926, followed by her rebound marriage to Prince Serge Mdivani, did hurt her box office draw and her fan mail stateside for a time during the end of the silent period (although internationally her pictures continued to do well).

I'll certainly think about it. It's hard to find time for side projects and fan art these days, but I do plan on drawing all of the main characters from Laurell K. Hamilton's books when I have some free time. In the meanwhile, take a look at my Anita Blake gallery.

Edward died of tuberculosis. Recently, historians and doctors suggested that it may have been complicated by measles.

The weight of the available evidence indicates that LHO (acting alone) did indeed kill Kennedy. Because of the untimely murder of LHO by Jack Ruby, we will never know for certain his motive for this crime. However, the following list of motives is based on solid evidence: There is evidence that suggests that LHO was emotionally unbalanced and acted against JFK at least partly because of this factor.

Anderson ("Jack O'Neill") departed the regular cast of Stargate SG-1 after Season Eight, in order to spend more time with his young daughter at home in California. (Stargate films on an arduous schedule in Vancouver, British Columbia.) In fact, Anderson originally did not intend to continue the show past Season Five, but continued on in an increasingly reduced capacity for three more years because of the cast, the crew, the fans, and the show's newfound success on The SCI FI Channel.

You didn't. He is just another "fine" example of a scientists that cannot separate his belief from his science, thereby supporting another point I previously made. Your attempt at criticizing those 28 percent who may/may not understand science far more than you doesn't go anywhere. Your data does not support the conclusion you reach. Even the second article points out that the vast majority of average people in America (67%) believe that God could have used evolution.

Although Dreyfuss apparently first approached Turtledove with the idea of writing a screenplay, the results of their collaboration was the novel The Two Georges.
