##RichardIII
This hand, which for thy love did kill thy love,
Shall for thy love kill a far truer love.

Made a tiny White Boar.

The emblem animal of Richard III.
I was asked to make it cute.
So I gave it a curly tail and reverse felted it all over so it was extra floofy.

Richard, thy wife, that wretched Anne thy wife,
That never slept a quiet hour with thee,
Now fills thy sleep with perturbations.
Tomorrow, in the battle, think on me,
And fall thy edgeless sword. Despair and die!

I recently read the excellent historical #novel “Cecily” by Annie Garthwaite which tells the life story of Cecily Neville, mother of Margaret of York, King Edward IV, King #RichardIII and their siblings. How many bereavements that woman endured…

Richard: Madam, my mother, I do cry you mercy;
I did not see your grace. Humbly on my knee
I crave your blessing.
DUCHESS OF YORK God bless thee, and put meekness in thy breast,
Love, charity, obedience, and true duty.

Today is the birthday of Richard III, the last of the Plantagenet Kings of England. A figure whose character has been much explored—most notably, in Shakespeare's 'Richard III'—his library has been cataloged on LibraryThing as part of our Legacy Libraries project. #RichardIII #💙📚 #Booksky

Beautiful Markenfield Hall, Yorks, which I visited last week as guest historian on Alison Weir’s Tour. Dating 14thC, a moated Manor House. Home of Sir Thomas Markenfield, a close associate of Richard III who fought with him at Bosworth Field #markenfield #markenfieldhall #richardiii #bosworthfield

Twelve years ago - the day out at the Tower of London which inspired the entire Kindred Spirits series! I'm so glad I braved the cold (and at one point, actual snow), and spent the whole day pondering the story fizzing in my mind... 😊

Fascinating documentary by #C4 on the discovery and identification of #RichardIII - always been a Ricardian; never bought into Tudor spin...

The War of the Roses series - Margaret Beaufort, Anne Neville, Elizabeth of York and Marguerite of Anjou were key players during the era.
