However, whilst the many events and the four bumper issues of the Bulletin tell me that the Society is in good shape, I also know that there is no room for complacency. There is still much to do to ensure that our successes continue. At the AGM, I said that we would be reviewing our plans and strategy for the future, and our first thoughts on the subject are outlined on page 3. We will keep you fully informed as matters progress, of course. Naturally, a part of the strategy will be our approach to public relations and I would urge you all to read Richard Van Allen’s article on page 8. Just from looking at the contents page of this Bulletin, you can see that we have yet another informative and highly entertaining magazine. Keith Dockray concludes his comparison of Richard III and Henry V, and finds some ‘unexpected’ similarities. There is a report on an edition of the television programme Castle in the Country, in which, it was claimed, a letter written by King Richard had been discovered, a letter that suggested his complicity in the ‘murder’ of the princes! As you will read, this was a classic case of the danger of jumping to conclusions. Also, Geoffrey Wheeler concludes his series on Lord Olivier, and it’s reassuring to learn that, under the greasepaint, the greatest portrayer in living memory of Shakespeare’s Richard III had a more realistic and enlightened opinion of the king. In another article, we celebrate the contributions to the Society of Philip Lindsay and Pat Bailey and their links with Australia. Like me, many members will have fond memories of Pat, while many will know about Philip through his books. Mention of Australia reminds me to wish Australasian Ricardians every success for their convention. This year, the meeting, which is held every two years, is taking place in New Zealand on 13 – 15 April and I know we all look forward to hearing about it in the summer Bulletin. Actually, 15 April looks like being a pretty busy day for many Ricardians, with not only the closing day of the convention but the final day of the Study Weekend in York and the day of the Scottish Branch’s Annual Lecture at Edinburgh Castle. The Society is sorry to learn of the death of Dorothy Mitchell in York. With her ‘Friends of King Richard’ she may not have seen eye to eye with us, but she was a staunch Ricardian and her passing is one less defender of Richard’s reputation. This year, I will complete my first five years as your chairman. It’s been an exciting and challenging time which has seen many changes and improvements to the way the Society operates. With your support, I look forward to continuing in the post for some time yet. As I’ve said before, there is still much to do. It’s been a very odd winter here in Britain. In fact, it may well have given us a miss this year. As I write this in early February, it feels as though spring has arrived well ahead of itself. Indeed, there have been clumps of daffodils visible on my way to work since early January. All down to global warming, no doubt. I wonder what Richard would have made of it? Whatever, we must not allow the vagaries of the weather to stop us from making sure that 2007 is another successful year for the Society and for the promotion of the cause of good King Richard. Phil Stone 2 Future Steps: The Next Five Years n 2002, we embarked on a major review of the Society under the title Towards the Next Fifty I Years. This focused on the years up to our fiftieth anniversary which we so successfully celebrated last year. Now it’s time to make sure that we have another fifty years to look forward to. Richard III was, of course, an innovative and effective manager, both as duke of Gloucester and king of England. It has been said of him that ‘to an extent that is wholly exceptional amongst his contemporaries, Richard shaped his own estate and his own career. Richard is unique in this period for taking a strategic view … and for developing and implementing a plan. It makes him strangely modern.’ It should not be surprising, therefore, that the Society that bears his name and exists to promote his positive qualities should be equally serious in having a strategy and plan for the future. Few, if any, organisations in today’s world can afford to stand still, and we are no exception. To survive in a rapidly changing world, we need always to be seeking ways to improve the way we do things, how to retain and attract members and to be financially sound enough to enable us to achieve our objectives. We have made a number of significant and necessary changes over the past five years which have increased our efficiency and saved us money: bringing our sales and membership functions in-house, finding better means to distribute our publications and making realistic decisions about membership rates. The Bulletin has been redesigned and expanded, The Ricardian has become an annual publication, through a more focused public relations approach we have made a positive impact on the media, and we have taken the AGM out of London to York and Bristol. We now need to consolidate and build on these achievements. So, we are looking ahead to the next five years and beyond to identify what we want to do and to ensure that we have the resources and structures to achieve them. We are evaluating a broad range of areas and activities that cover the remit of our Society. And in doing so we will seek to consolidate improvements already made to the Society’s internal governance, finances, membership services and communication. This will enable us to build on our impressive research achievements and increase our capacity to do more, which will give us the gravitas, respect and confidence to develop a more effective publicity strategy to enable us to be even more proactive in promoting the positive case for King Richard and to challenge more effectively the negative representations of the king. We have made a number of significant and necessary changes over the past five years: A more detailed report will be published in the summer issue of the Bulletin and, in the autumn, the Annual Report will be accompanied by the first draft of our strategy. This will be open to comment and suggestions by the membership and will be debated at the Annual General Meeting. The Executive Committee 3 Society News and Notices Executive Committee – the Low Down As the new Secretary, I am keen to enhance my role as a link between the Executive Committee (EC) and you, the members. With this in mind, I would like to give you a regular overview of what the EC are up to, current concerns and issues being discussed – so here is the inaugural EC ‘low down’ from meetings held in October and December 2006. EC meetings are usually lively and topics covered range from the more mundane but vital ‘business’ to the exciting ideas for new developments and offerings/services to members. During autumn 2006 the accounts kept us occupied. As you know, we needed a new auditor to overview and authorise them before the AGM. Paul was keen also to introduce some procedures which would make the accounts far more accurate. In October he requested that all expenditure have a detailed explanation for accuracy and to make it easier to locate recoverable expenses.

    RICHARD III SOCIETY Patron: HRH Prince Richard, The Duke of Gloucester KG GCVO APPENDIX 2 Founder: Dr S Saxon Barton Communications Manager Amanda Geary 22 Camelot Avenue Sherwood Nottingham NG5 1DW Tel: 0115 9706878/07769 800622 Email: [email protected] Website www.richardiii.net PRESS RELEASE An open letter to the Planning Committee of Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council The battle of Bosworth was one of the most significant events in English history. It is remarkable for the fact that it featured the final cavalry charge of the last English king to die in battle. This event led to the end of over three hundred years of Plantagenet rule, and the beginning of the Tudor era. Despite being a Society with a research focus firmly on events of the past, we are in no way opposed to technological progress. It was indeed more recent advances in genetics and DNA fingerprinting which allowed King Richard himself to be identified once his remains were located beneath the Social Services car park in Leicester in 2012. However, we are concerned that something as historically and culturally important as the battlefield, which has a direct relevance to the king now buried in Leicester Cathedral, will be adversely impacted by this development. We appreciate the need to test this new technology but by its nature, and bearing in mind the speed of future technological advances, it is likely to become quickly obsolete, whereas the damage done to the battlefield will be irreparable. We are therefore concerned that the battlefield will be lost for a project which may be important in the short term, but is unlikely to have a significant lasting value across centuries to come.

  • The Sun King and the Merry Monarch
    The Sun King and the Merry 1678 Monarch Explores the religious backdrop to one of the largest threats to England's throne - the Popish Plot. Aggravated by the murder of the magistrate Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey, the Plot reflected religious beliefs and insecurities at the By Calum time. Sir Godfrey was my ancestor (of some 11 generations). A visit to his Johnson grave in Westminster Abbey in 2014 inspired me to explore his role in this religious turmoil which hit hard in 17th Century England... The Clergyman and the King of England Leaving for his morning stroll on the 13th of August 1678, Charles II, King of England and Defender of the Faith heard for the first time of a plot to kill him. This was far from unusual. Indeed, just months earlier, a woman in Newcastle had been subjected to a large investigation after stating, "the King deserves the curse of all good and faithful wives for his bad example”. And yet, when Mr Kirkby (his lab assistant) brought Dr Israel Tonge to him at 8 o’clock that evening, the king listened impatiently before handing the matter over to his first minister…. The Religious Pendulum: Change of Faith in England To truly examine the tumult about to hit England in the 17th Century, it is important that we look first at the Religious scene in Europe some 150 years earlier. In the previous century the Reformation began and Protestantism gathered momentum, fuelled by a desire to reduce the exuberance of the Church in Rome with its elaborate sculptures, paintings and stained-glass windows.

As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.

  • A Royal Tragedy
    William Shakespeare's Richard III A Royal Tragedy Acts Three, Four, and Five Notes Provided by WISDOM Home Schooling's Online Socratic Dialogue Progra Dramatis Personae KING EDWARD IV – The leader of the Yorkists, who beat the Lancastrian king, Henry VI, and took his throne. During the final battle that beat the Lancastrians, King Edward was one of the three men who dishonourably stabbed Lady Anne’s husband when he was already down. Edward used to be a great warrior, but has now become sickly, and is more interested in entertainment and women than in feats of courage. Sons to the King: EDWARD, PRINCE OF WALES – About thirteen years old. King Edward IV and Queen Elizabeth’s older son, and heir to the throne of England. Wise beyond his years, and protective of his brother. RICHARD, DUKE OF YORK – About ten years old. Prince Edward’s younger brother, he is second in line to inherit the throne. Less serious than his brother, he is given to joking around and making fun of adults. Brothers to the King: GEORGE, DUKE OF CLARENCE – Clarence is a conflicted man. During the war between the Yorkists and the Lancastrians, he fought on whichever side seemed to be winning at the time. He was one of the three who stabbed Lady Anne’s husband. Despite his shifting alliances, Clarence nonetheless has a deep love for his wife and children. RICHARD, DUKE OF GLOUCESTER (pronounced “Gloss-ter”), who will one day become KING RICHARD III – Gloucester is a hunchback with a withered arm and a limp.

    born circa 673, was much venerated in his own time, and even more so not long after his death in 714. He ‘ enjoyed heavenly visions but also had to combat demonic temptations.’2 His whip (almost needless to say,sent in answer to a prayer to his patron saint) was used to flog the Devil. According to Fox- Davies3 the only essential difl'erence in the mitres of abbots and bishops is in the absence or presence of what we call the ribbons (infulae). JOHN RUSSELL: Bishop of Lincoln, died 1494 1449-62 Winchester, New College, etc. 1466 Archdeacon of Berkshire 1474—83 Keeper of the Privy Seal Negotiated marriage between Cicely, daughter of King Edward IV, and the future James IV of Scotland, which did not take place 1476—80 Bishop of Rochester 1480-94 Bishop of Lincoln 1483—85 Chancellor of England 1483-94 Chancellor of Oxford University It seems that the arms of the Sec of Lincoln were not used before 1495 (and then only as a seal),4 so Russell must have his mitre, but his shield cannot impale the arms of the Bishopric. His personal arms were: Blue, two golden chevronels between three silver roses.s He was evidently not of the same family as the later earls and dukes of Bedford. It could be said that the most important thing about Russell is his possible connection with the Second Continuation of the Croyland Chronicle (covering 1483—5), and it seems that one can now again agree with Kendall when he said ‘ There is considerable evidence to suggest that the materials, if not the actual writing, of most of this narrative is the work of John Russell, Bishop of Lincoln, one of Edward’s most intimate advisers and Richard’s Chancellor.“ NOTES AND REFERENCES l.
