You're welcome Don.

Funny, your interest in the English royals; I thought you was a thoroughbred Scot ? Ye ken, Robert the Bruce, Bonnie Prince Charlie, a wee dram of Macallan and all that ?

On a different tangent......who owns the remains? Surely the Canadian carpenter chap has a strong claim...........might we see them up on Ebay soon?
Solves the problem of whether he should be buried in Leicester or York.

Who?-Harry Hewitt?

Normally your Ministry of Justice has something to say in the matter of uncovering human remains during excavation works etc.

Oh well that's cleared that up then

Some illustrations by Graham Turner who illustrated many Osprey books about medieval battles, also one about Bosworth Field 1485. He's a good illustrator and his work is well researched.
Would be a great medieval knight figure, Richard III, and I hope manufacturors will consider it. A welcome change from all the f***ing templars and teutons and maltezers (I'll die from boredom if I see much more maltezers released)

That's Pedro's (pmfs) speciality - now, that's a release I dread to see...

Here is a really interesting article that was published a few years ago that discussed the creation of a Bosworth scene using the IMAI German knights series. http://www.aeroscale.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=printpage&artid=368
Don't know if it ever came to fruition though but I'd love to see it if it did.

OK Ian, I'll stay in touch - give 'em my best regards overthere !

That's brilliant! I want one and I don't even do knights.

Was he not mistakenly killed by Edmund the Black-(Vegetable)-adder.


Chris

Does this mean my countryman now has a semi-valid claim to the throne? After all death in battle should not result in extinction of your family's succession righhts in today's kinder gentler world.

Colin

Who knows Colin. Might just be whats needed to refresh European royal bloodlines and stop them giving each other High Sixes

It was announced today in Parliament, during Prime Ministers Questions, that the Dept of Work and Pensions have declared Richard as being fit for work.
Even Cameron had to laugh
