"The feast of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist being appointed as the day upon which the coronation of the king [Edward V] would take place without fail, all both hoped for and expected a season of prosperity for the kingdom."

— Excerpt from the Croyland Continuator / David Horspool, Richard III: A Ruler and Reputation

Even though Edward IV’s death was unexpected, after twelve years of peace there need not have been too much of a sense of foreboding about the succession. The great dynastic wound from which the Wars of the Roses had grown had not so much been healed as cauterized by the extinction of the House of Lancaster. There was no rush for London, as had happened in earlier, disputed successions. The royal party didn’t set out from Ludlow for ten days after hearing the news of Edward IV’s death, while Richard took his time, too. And the new king had [his mother the dowager queen and] two uncles to support him: his mother’s brother, the sophisticated, cultured, highly experienced Earl Rivers; and his father’s, the loyal and reliable Duke of Gloucester, to whom Edward IV had entrusted unprecedented power and vital military command.

... [Richard of Gloucester] had achieved his goal by a mixture of luck and ruthlessness, and if he made it appear, or even believed himself, that destiny played a part, this only made him a man in step with his times. Modern historians have no time for destiny, but sometimes the more ‘structuralist’ interpretations of the events surrounding the usurpation can come close to it. When we read that ‘the chances of preserving an unchallenged succession were . . . weakened by the estrangement of many of the rank-and-file nobility from . . . high politics, which was partly a consequence of the Wars of the Roses and partly of Edward IV’s own policies’, it is hard not to conclude that an unforeseeable turn of events is being recast as a predictable one. But without one overriding factor – the actions of Richard, Duke of Gloucester after he took the decision to make himself King Richard III – none of this could have happened. That is, when the same author concedes ‘Nor can we discount Richard’s own forceful character’, he is pitching it rather low*.

Edward IV had not left behind a factional fault line waiting to be shaken apart. Richard of Gloucester’s decision to usurp was a political earthquake that could not have been forecast on 9 April, when Edward died. After all, Simon Stallworth did not even anticipate it on 21 June, the day before Richard went public. We should be wary of allowing hindsight to give us more clairvoyance than the well-informed contemporary who had no idea ‘what schall happyne’. This is not to argue that Richard’s will alone allowed him to take the Crown. Clearly, the circumstances of a minority, the existence of powerful magnates with access to private forces, and the reasonably recent examples of resorts to violence and deposition of kings, made Richard’s path a more conceivable one. But Richard’s own tactics, his arrest of Rivers, Vaughan and Grey, the rounding up of Hastings and the bishops, relied on surprise. If men as close as these to the workings of high politics at a delicate juncture had no inkling of what might happen, the least historians can do is to reflect that uncertainty [...].

Thank Goodness it's Thursday Part 5 - Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)

In today's review, I find that the community at Pinehurst might be the best place to start anew. As I attempt a #positive review of the 1985 film, Friday the 13th: A New Beginning #JohnShepherd #CoreyFeldman #MelanieKinnaman #ShavarRoss #RichardYoung

You learn that in some cases, it may be worth it to never say die, especially if the idea ends up being lucratively beneficial to you. There are always ways to carry on the story, remake it, or both. In 1985, after swearing off the franchise, Both Jarvis (and possibly Jason) returned, only in not the way that you expected, in Friday The 13th Part 5 A New Beginning. Jason is back! Just not how…

Queen Henrietta Maria (1609-1669)

Artist: Anthony van Dyck (Flemish, 1599-1641)

Date: Before 1632

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Royal Collection Trust, United Kingdom

Description

On 8 August 1632, Charles I authorized payment to Van Dyck for £20 for 'One of our royall Consort'. This was perhaps the first single portrait of Queen Henrietta Maria painted by Van Dyck after his arrival in London, and it provided a type from which many variations by the artist and his assistants followed.

The charm of the portrait is matched by the lightness of tone and touch with which it is painted: the silvery-grey dress, against dark green, setting off pale pinkish scarlet bows and the pink roses under her right hand. The flesh is modelled with extreme delicacy and her fashionable dress is also recorded with great care. The curtain originally projected more to the left and seems to have been altered by Van Dyck to its present form, and there are signs of alterations down the shadowed area of the Queen's left sleeve. This painting was probably the source of the Queen's portrait in the series of royal portraits in the Mortlake tapestry at Houghton Hall, Norfolk.

In his early English portraits Anthony van Dyck includes fashionable details of dress (such as the spiky lace cuffs seen here) that he later tended to omit or simplify. The queen's bodice and skirt have been pinked with with wavy lines to produce a decorative effect in the lustrous silvery-blue silk, while the 'carnation' pink ribbons add warmth to the cool palette. As part of her dowry Henrietta Maria brought a pair of large teardrop-shaped pearls, probably the earrings seen here. Later known as the Mancini pearls, they still survive today.

I recently learned a statement from the Ricardian activist Annette Carson -——

The marriage alliance between Elizabeth Woolville and Margaret Beaufort's children is not real, it was just fabricated by later Tudor scholars based on Henry Richmond's own propaganda

Of course, it was indeed recorded by Virgil that they shared a doctor and formed an alliance. But when Henry Richmond promoted his marriage to the daughter of Edward IV, he had many York allies around him. Including Elizabeth's brother and uncle, they soon joined the Richmond team.

On June 13th, Hastings attended a parliamentary meeting held at the Tower of London and was ordered to be arrested and summarily executed by Gloucester. Mancini reported that at about this time, Gloucester learned that Dorset had left the refuge. "He assumed that he was hiding in a nearby block. He surrounded the crops, farmland and wooded areas with his army and dogs, and sought him through an unusually tight encirclement as a hunter, but never found him. Shortly afterwards, Gloucester announced that Edward V, Richard, Duke of York, and their sisters were illegitimate children and inherited the throne as Richard III. He first executed Anthony Woodville and Dorset's brother Richard Gray.

As rumors of the murder of Edward IV's sons began to spread, a rebellion against the new king erupted in the autumn of 1483, with the aim of allowing an unknown exile named Henry Tudor to ascend to the throne. Dorset came out of hiding and joined the rebellion. Richard III issued a proclamation offering 1000 marks of money or 100 marks of land to anyone occupying Dorset, claiming that Dorset "does not fear God, nor is he afraid of the danger of his soul. Many maids, widows, and wives have been shamelessly devoured, stripped, and defiled, and have committed adultery with the shameless and mischievous woman known as Shaw's wife.

The rebellions, including Dorset's uprising in Exeter, have all failed. Despite paying the price, Dorset escaped capture and fled to Brittany, where he joined the exiled Henry Tudor. The Duke of Brittany grants Dorset and his men 400 livres per month

Edward Woodville - perhaps confiscated his gold coins in Southampton, unless he unfortunately put them on a runaway ship - continued sailing to Brittany, where he joined the ranks of Henry Tudor. There, he received a pension from Duke Francis of Brittany.

Although the uprising against Gloucester (now Richard III) in October 1483 failed, the new king could not rest in peace. In May 1484, Richard anticipated that Edward Woodville would launch an attack in Dover or Sandwich. It was never realized, but less than a year and a half later in 1485, when Richard III was defeated at Bosworth, Edward Woodville

If Elizabeth Woodville and Margaret Beaufort had not discussed cooperation, it is difficult to understand why they would have joined Lancaster's heirs so quickly and directly

Where exactly does the idea that "everyone hated the Woodvilles and were glad that Richard got rid of them" come from?* Because the Croyland Chronicler is quite clear on the fact that:

“The duke of Gloucester received the same high office of Protector of the kingdom ... The feast of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist being appointed as the day upon which the coronation of the king would take place without fail ... Still, however, a circumstance which caused the greatest doubts was the detention of the king’s relatives and servants in prison; besides the fact that the Protector did not, with a sufficient degree of considerateness, take measure for the preservation of the dignity and safety of the queen.”

This doesn't strike me as a council who approved of Richard’s actions against the Woodvilles and were happy that they were finally out of the way, it strikes me as a council that was extremely sympathetic to their plight and very worried and baffled about what was happening to them. We also know that the council would reject Richard's demand to execute Anthony Woodville and Richard Gray, which clearly indicates that they did not just sympathize with the Woodvilles but were actively defensive of them as well.

(*It comes from a great deal of propaganda that sought to vilified them, in case anyone was wondering. It's just exhausting that most historians and blogs keep recycling the idea even though actual evidence suggests otherwise.)
