Two anonymous 17th Century ballads describing the purported evil deeds of Richard III, the murder of the Princes in the Tower, and the Battle of Bosworth Field, which was fought #onthisday in 1485.
A good example of Tudor propaganda.A song of the Life and Death of King Richard the Third (to the tune of Who list to lead a soldier's life)
and
The most cruel murther of Edward the fifth, and his brother Duke of York, in the Tower; by their Uncle Richard Duke of Gloucester (to the tune of Fortune my foe)
From Richard Johnson's ballad miscellany, The Golden Garland of Princely Delights, 1620Eleanor Cramer: #soprano
Richard de Winter: #baritone
Robin Jeffrey: #lute
Alison KInder: bass #violhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eStjRK_gY-M&ab_channel=Passamezzo

@Jennifer_Pinkley @leighms @ChrisMayLA6 Sorry but I don’t agree. Charles is taking “donations “ & keeping offshore accounts. a billionaire at birth why is he using tax £ to pay for his everything? Which kings have you gotten rid of as required? It’s usually somebody who wants to be the next king who gets rid of them. Yet it’s average Britons who fought their endless wars. #WarsOfTheRoses ?

I've been enjoying 'The Granddaughters of Edward III' by #KathrynWarner, thanks to a review copy from #NetGalley. Two queens, several scandals, descendants with competing claims leading to the #WarsOfTheRoses. Many history books focus on half the population; examining what we know of the women provides new perspective. 🧵 1/

Happy Wednesday, #Mastodentists!
#OnThisDate in 1486 Henry VII married Elizabeth of York, thereby putting paid to the #WarsoftheRoses.This song by #TheRainmakers has nothing to do with that bit of English history.

On the 4th January 1483, Francis Lovell was created Viscount Lovell, however, his estates including his home in Oxfordshire, and titles would be the subject of an attainder in 1487 following the Yorkist defeat at the Battle of Stoke Field. One of his other titles lost after the battle was Baron d'Ayncourt.
The d'Ayncourt barony would lay in abeyance until the 17th century when it was granted to Francis Leke. Charles Tennyson, the uncle of Alfred, Lord Tennyson would try unsuccessfully to get his hands on it in the 18th century.

#OTD 1496 d. Jasper Tudor, Earl of Pembroke & Duke of Bedford died. Jasper can probably take the lion’s share of the credit for his nephew, Henry VII's ultimate triumph in the Wars of the Roses. Second son of Catherine de Valois and Owain Tudor, Jasper had been favoured by his half-brother, Henry VI, and was unfailingly loyal to the House of Lancaster. http://bit.ly/259dT0g #tudor #henryvii #warsoftheroses #histodons #jaspertudor
