King Richard: A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a comma!
Catesby: Withdraw, my lord: I’ll help you to a comma.
King Richard: Slave! I have set my life upon a caste,
And I will stand the hazard of the die,
I think there be six Richmonds in the field;
Five have I slain instead of him.

A path well royally trodden – framed in the lychgated entrance, the Church of St Mary and St Alkelda in the North Yorkshire village of Middleham, near Leyburn in Wensleydale.
Grade I listed, the ancient church dates from the 13th century and was where Richard, Duke of Gloucester (later Richard III) once worshipped.
King Richard spent several years during his childhood at Middleham Castle and which later became one of his royal homes.

The Lost King brouhaha has huge toys-out-the-pram misogyny vibes from the U of Leicester. Glad to see Steve Coogan's defence of his film, and Philippa Langley here. I've met her, and heard her story. #TheLostKing #RichardIII
