The White Queen

[Aktungbby]

Just finished off The Winter King- Henry VII on kindle. This details the victory of Henry, Earl of Oxford who defeated Richard III at Bosworth and fathers Henry VIII by his marriage to ...Anne, the White Queen's daughter, in effect a union of York and Lancaster sufficient to end the War of the Roses.

Aye, we could have both made a tidy sum if we were betting folk.

Furthermore, I think it's stupid that he will be buried in Leicester, not York.

INNOCENT! well mostly Nothing in the show is compromised by my mention from the book which is after that period actually-I just re-watched the last episode to be sure- and my mention of Bosworth and the photo of the late Richard III I used in this thread, # 3, have been utilized in the This Date in History thread at least twice beforehand. No all-knowing Lord of his own Forum can have failed to be apprised by my previous 'pearls o'! wisdom cast before Swell Fellas'' As to my chief detractors: the Oi man of Wilshire and the venerable Sire of Northumbria a glass of Malmsey and a swift Misericorde to you both for your perfidious calumny; inasmuch as you sort of give it away as well. Ol' Dickon might have got a bad propaganda rap... FYI: Queen Elizabeth II is also the present Duke of Lancaster $omeone alway$ walks off with the loot-an obvious 'happy ending'?!! I therefore CRY Foul Craven! Shades of 'the Rat, the Cat...now where's Lovell the dog"... oh that could be me!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Lovell,_1st_Viscount_Lovell Lawrence Olivier as Richard III-1955 It was directed and produced by Sir 'Larry' who also played the villainous Oscar nominated lead rôle to perfection IMHO, inspired Salvador Dali's portrait of Sir Lawrence Olivier as Richard III @ Neal: as to the White Queen: this'll clear it all up! just her kids alone(12)! But hey there was no TV to watch in days o' yore and gore...In the boudoir or field: She is the ancestor of every English monarch sinceHenry VIII and every Scottish monarch since James V of Scotland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Woodville Thomas Grey, Marquess of Dorset

Elizabeth, Queen of England
Mary of York
Cecily, Viscountess Welles
Edward V, King of England

Only when I'm drinkn' it! Not like poor submerged George, Duke Clarence whose doom I mention'd to Betanov prior to his English journey; since Malmsey originated in Slovenia or Hungary but the varietal also comes from Spain and Portugal at the present as a 'fortified Wine. That a Butt of it would have been on hand attests to the tribulation of the times as the Tower was well stocked for siege..and drinking from the sewage filled Thames was unwise. As a transplanted Minnesotan to the wine capitol of the universe...See Bottleshock-the movie: Napa (take that ya Froggies) Man doth not live by Hamm's Alone Naturally, were I to acquire a used French oak Butt; and upon drinking it dry, would reshape it somewhat: USS Turtle> and sink canoes in the Napa River! Just to stay on a submersible theme! drowned in the Butt of malmsey
