History was never boring, why make so now? Yeah, they were - Mary Queen of Scots was Margaret's granddaughter.<br /><br />KEENA - it's a very interesting debate and I have to say I lean toward Henry VII having something to do it. Of course he had no immediate gain (he wasn't Richard's heir or heir presumaptive (sp?) but if he did have intentions of confronting Richard and winning his crown in battle, then he would need the princes out of his way for a smooth accession. Since records & recordkeeping was as good as it now, we can only speculate. For me, it would make sense that Elizabeth Woodville would want to save the one son she could and substitute a challenging. BUT, there's no history proves she did one way or the other. The same for who killed the princes. I can honestly say, Henry VII's mother, Maragret, had designs of her son being king - how far she pushed him and how far she went herself, history can't say.<br /><br />BARRI - Nice to see you pop in. Glad you enjoyed it.<br /><br />DAPHNE - I'm surprised there isn't more on her, either. She lead a fascinating life. <br /><br />MARGARET - Your novel sounds very interesting. It was a dangerous time in England as they left the middle ages and entered the renanannce (sp?) I do think Richard III received a bad "rap" as history is written by the victors and Henry VII was the victor here. Of course, he's going to paint Richard III in a bad light. Richard was very loyal to his brother, Edward IV. He was named Edward V's protector because Edward IV trusted him. I can't imagine the political intrigue that forced him or made him feel like he had to kill his nephews. Again, history will never tell.<br /><br />Thanks for popping in all.<br />Smiles<br />StephStephanie Burkhart https://www.blogger.com/profile/16952130018587727063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096473303247600400.post-7798642408206583242010-07-28T01:40:31.677+10:002010-07-28T01:40:31.677+10:00I loved reading this about, Margaret, Well done St...I loved reading this about, Margaret, Well done Stephanie, she was such a fascinating character and one sadly neglected in history.<br />For instance she did not even have a walk-on part in the Tudors.<br /><br />re: Richard the Third - well I am a Ricardian and my latest novel(Dangerous Enchantment) dares to speculate on what really happened to Richard Duke of York!

Both had motivate and means, but Richard had the most to gain, at least immediately.<br /><br />I don't remember how we ended the discussion now but it was great fun.Keena Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15985958126062809043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096473303247600400.post-73401610432237083112010-07-28T00:21:00.584+10:002010-07-28T00:21:00.584+10:00Woah.
