A Day And A Half Until The Big Reveal

[poliphilo]

Rewrite the history books? I don't think so. Everything that's been leaked so far simply confirms the traditional story: Here's a man with a spinal deformity who died in battle and has turned up in exactly the right place. Oddly enough the Tudor historians turn out to have been trustworthy- in so far as their record can be checked.

As for information about who Richard really was- and whether he was guilty of the crimes laid at his door, well, we'll have to go to the Akashic records for that.

Even so I'm looking forward enormously to the Channel 4 documentary. I love old bones (any old bones.)

Also (I'm not entirely sure of my reasons) I love Richard.

Whatever the outcome, the historians and other researchers will make it an interesting story.

I'm particularly looking forward to the facial reconstruction.

Guilty as charged but then most mediaeval and early modern monarchs were!

I reckon he did what he had to do. It was kill or be killed.

A fascinating man, certainly. I think we judge him too harshly, using the standards of our times, which makes no sense...

I'm reminded of a line from Touch of Evil. "He was some kind of a man...What does it matter what you say about people?"

It can be done by horary astrology, too. How about --

Was Richard III responsible for the deaths of his nephews?
