For contact details see back inside cover of the Bulletin The Ricardian Bulletin is produced by the Bulletin Editorial Committee, Printed by Micropress Printers Ltd. © Richard III Society, 2009 From the Chairman resident Obama’s well-deserved reputation for oratory means that phrases from his speeches P are already appearing in dictionaries of quotations, and one in particular seems especially apt for the reputation of Richard III and the work of this Society: ‘the arc of history is long but it bends towards justice’. Since 1924, we have been helping to bend that arc in King Richard’s favour and as a mark for our success, it gives me great pleasure to report that HRH The Duke of Gloucester is willing to continue as our Patron for the foreseeable future (see page 21). It would seem that two iconic Ricardian sites, Bosworth and Sheriff Hutton, must now be viewed in a new light. The results of the recent archaeological investigations at Bosworth confirm what most of us already expected about the battle’s location (see page 19), while Jane Crease finishes her article on the Sheriff Hutton tomb with the definitive conclusion, which will be a disappointment to many members, that the tomb is certainly not that of Edward of Middleham. (Presumably this mean we can no longer refer to it as ‘Legless Eddie’?) The Ricardian Churches Restoration Fund supported the consolidation of the tomb in 1985, and our founder Saxon Barton contributed to restoration costs in 1949. However, it is a fifteenth-century monument and is probably the tomb of a Neville, so none of this has been in vain. Where, then, was Richard’s son buried? We’d like to hear your views. So, please, let the debate begin. Once again, in this issue, we have an interesting range of articles and reports. Jennie Powys- Lybbe concludes the series from the Cirencester Conference with an incisive look at the role of Margaret Beaufort, a most appropriate re-evaluation in this the quincentenary year of her death. Following on from references in the last issue to Richard III and lipstick, Tig Lang takes a fascinating look at mediaeval cosmetics. There is a report about the Bosworth weekend and our strong presence there, together with an account of the Society’s visit to South Wales, which gives a real sense of the locations visited and the camaraderie of the trip. The AGM and Members Day went well and, to me, seemed to have been a very happy and friendly day. Most would agree that the lecture by Tobias Capwell was outstanding, challenging, as it did, a lot of preconceived views about English armour in the fifteenth century. We hope Toby will expand on his views in a future issue, but in the meantime Lesley Boatwright’s excellent summary gives you an idea of what he told us. Down in the southern hemisphere, Australian and New Zealand Ricardians held a successful convention in Perth, during which Julia Redlich of the New South Wales Branch was presented with the 2009 Robert Hamblin Award by vice-president Rob Smith. Our congratulations to Julia. At the AGM, we also took a moment to celebrate Geoffrey Wheeler’s forty years of continuous service as a member of the Executive Committee. On behalf of all, I congratulate Geoff on this achievement and thank him for his contribution over those four decades. As the year ends, let me wish everyone a very happy Christmas and a safe and prosperous 2010, which will surely be another busy and productive year for the Society. Phil Stone 2 Annual General Meeting 2009 Minutes of the 2009 Annual General Meeting of the Richard III Society The 2009 Annual General Meeting of the Richard III Society was held at Staple Inn, Holborn, London on Saturday 3 October 2009 at 2.30 pm. 121 members were present. Apologies for absence were received from John Ashdown-Hill, John Audsley, Sandra Church, Rachel & Gordon Field, Yvonne Ginn, Moira Habberjam, Sally Henshaw, Elaine Hunt, Diana & Peter Lee, Andrea Lindow, Shirley & Roy Linsell, Wendy & Brian Moorhen, Jean Nicholls, Ian Rogers, Josephine Tewson, Juliet Wilson and Tom Wallis. The minutes of the 2008 Annual General Meeting, published in the winter Bulletin 2008, were approved and signed as correct. Chairman’s Remarks: Phil Stone welcomed members from the UK and overseas, including Elisabeth Sjoberg who lives in Sweden and Julia Campbell who lives in Paris. He then gave an address, including remarks on the year’s events and proposals for the future, and thanking a number of people for their input. His address is fully reported in this issue on pages 6-8. Secretaries’ Report: David Wells gave a brief report of his and Susan’s first period as Joint Secretaries and emphasised that, although there had been a lot of work and a ‘steep learning curve’, they had both enjoyed the experience and looked forward to continuing to make a contribution to the Society. Susan read out greetings from the American, New Zealand and Canadian branches, and from Moira Habberjam and John Audsley. Reports from Members of the Executive Committee and other Society officers: Richard Van Allen spoke on forthcoming productions/television programmes about the period including: a National Geographic programme examining the fate of the Princes as part of a series about unsolved/unexplained mysteries; a drama series for television written by Philippa Langley (Secretary of the Scottish Branch) entitled Richard III, Last of the Warrior Kings for which production support was being sought; and a possible film of Sharon Penman’s novel The Sunne in Splendour which was a much larger and, therefore, more costly, project. Marian Mitchell gave details of the trips organised during the past year and proposals for 2010 which included: day trip in May to Kenilworth day trip in September, possibly to Tewkesbury long week-end trip to Calais. Marian announced a change to the previously printed dates for this trip which would now take place from 15 to 18 July. Further details would be published in the December Bulletin. Marian went on to emphasise how important it was for Members to support the trips – coaches were becoming ever more expensive, and the more seats taken, the less expensive for each participant. She commented that there were few smaller coaches and, generally, 49 seats were the minimum. She then also emphasised that members of the Visits Committee enjoyed no privileges and paid the same as everyone else for the trips. Lesley Boatwright advised that the September Bulletin was the 26th in the new format, and gave a brief summary of some points of policy. She asked if members thought that the Bulletin Committee were ‘getting it right’ and invited responses by email or in writing to her address on the back cover of Bulletin. 3 Articles ‘for debate’ had not attracted many responses, and so the series had been dropped. For the series about ‘The Man Himself’ it was becoming more difficult to find something meaningful to say. Should the series continue and, if so, what issues could be addressed? Some issues attracted a degree of controversy. Currently, a response to the original article was published and the author given the chance to provide a rejoinder. Thereafter, anything further on the subject was published as general correspondence. Was this the right way to deal with such matters? The publication of fictional short stories had attracted much comment – favourable and unfavourable. She emphasised that the stories were submitted by invitation only by specific authors, who were asked to base their stories on a painting by Graham Turner. Do members find book reviews interesting or tedious? Should fiction be reviewed? It was felt that there should be a consistent policy, and there was a proposal under discussion within the Bulletin Committee for the establishment of a post of Reviews Editor. The Bulletin Committee would welcome information about work done by individual members to promote the Society and its work.

Friday February 1 2002 Saturday February 2 2002 To Chiswick this a.m. to shop for K and give him a choice. Got back at twelve, but no sign. Arrived at something after one, animated newsy talk, and an omelette with the blewits and chanterellesI got at the lovely greengrocers - £29.50 a kilo. About two four inch blews and four or five chant. about £3, not bad for such deliciousness. Now it’s Saturday night, and K’s gone, after two wonderful days.I have done nothing except stand up and sit down, and prepare four meals, and I’m exhausted. I fear K might have felt I was lazy or feeble. Well, he started out – ‘Can’t stop here talking, or the light will go’, on the buddleia, ‘which job do you want done first?’ He sawed it right down, and I do see that it’s partly destabilised some bricks. A great relief. I hope that silly fussy man won’t find something else to shout to me about. I was becoming quite reluctant to go into the garden. Horrible to cut anything down, but on balance welcomed it. Comically, the wind was the strongest I’ve heard since I’ve been here. Quite expected a letter of complaint from the next door just as we were cutting down the dangerous bush. They have a ‘patio’ (sic) garden and are clearly nervous of a jungle takeover, or indeed anything they can’t control.

The history in it is not very good. Shakespeare compresses events at will. The idea of who the protagonist and antago- Ian Gallanar. Photo by Theatre nists are in this play might not match the historical record. Consultants Collaborative Inc. The play is not as deeply moving or profound as King Lear or Hamlet. Instead, what makes this play great are Shakespeare’s craftsmanship and innovation. Richard, Duke of Gloucester is one of the greatest anti-heroes in the theater. Shakespeare prac- tically invents for the stage the notion that our main fi gure can be villainous and yet, somehow, likable. Why? Because he’s entertaining, he’s funny, he’s wicked, and he speaks to us directly. The anti-hero is a creation that has stood the test of time. My favorite period of Shake- speare in performance is the era in which troupes of actors toured the California gold rush towns. Their productions were deeply important to these guys in the middle of nowhere trying to strike it rich.

  • The Enduring Appeal of Richard III
    The Enduring Appeal of Richard III Harriet Jordan, 2002 Written as part of the M.Litt. program at the University of Sydney, in the subject Medieval Crime Fiction. It has indeed been confidently asserted that [Richard the 3d] killed his two Nephews & his Wife, but it has also been declared that he did not kill his two Nephews.1 Richard III has been a presence in the popular imagination for centuries. There are, however, two radically different Richard IIIs appearing in the works of novelists, historians and playwrights/filmmakers. On the one hand, we have the traditional Evil Richard, who may have first appeared in writing in the histories of Polydore Vergil (1534) and Sir Thomas More (1543 and 1557), but who undoubtedly gained his ongoing fame – or infamy – as a result of William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Richard III, and the earlier Henry VI plays. Opposing him is Defamed Richard, who first saw light of day in 1619 with Sir George Buck’s five-part The History of the Life and Reigne of Richard the Third, but whose main impact on the public consciousness came as recently as 1951 with the publication of Josephine Tey’s The Daughter of Time. Unlike virtually any other historical figure, Richard III manages to be both “an enduring symbol of evil and conversely a white knight whose honour has been besmirched by his enemies.”2 Thus, his ongoing appeal arises from a number of very different sources. When Shakespeare wrote his Richard III, England was still under the rule of the Tudors, and so it would hardly have been politic to present Richard in a sympathetic light.
