The Children of Richard III

Peter Hammond

@fleurdechat Sadly there’s very little information on Edward of Middleham (or Richard’s illegitimate children). Peter Hammond wrote The Children of Richard III, which gathers what is available. We don’t know Edward’s year of birth, definite date of death, the cause, or where he’s buried.

@mister2988 John Ashdown-Hill’s The Third Plantagenet is the only recent biography of Clarence I think. Hicks may have done one.

I’ve been let lose on Dan Snow’s History Hit again today to explore what an Oligarch is, and what Oligarchy means (and doesn’t mean). The word is in the news a lot at the moment, and Jeffrey Winters does a great job of explaining the ins and outs. https://t.co/y8ROCDeihu
