GEORGE PLANTAGENET (d. February 18, 1478)

"The drowning was one of the main reasons I took the role. I'm more than happy to do my own stunts because I've done plenty of that with The Borgias, but this was a tough one! I went to the director and the writer with a picture of a wooden carving by Philip Poteaux which showed George being held by three men and dunked backwards. They agreed that we should do it like that, but instead of wine we used diluted grape juice. It would have been quite dangerous to heat, so after being dunked a dozen times I was pretty cold. I was wearing a back support on so they could pivot me over the edge of the barrel safely, but I had my hands bound so there was no way I could pull myself out! I was just hoping that they wouldn't leave me in there too long! The first time we went back for about five seconds to see what it was like. Because you're going backwards, everything goes straight up your nose. I soon learned then that I needed to breathe out of my nose as I went under. I also had to keep my eyes open because we had an underwater camera, so the sugar was getting really painful - by the end I was quite delirious! What's more, the grape juice also mixed with my ear wax and my ears were all blocked up too - I had to get them syringed afterwards. A make-up artist was looking after me and she said I was wobbling around, not knowing what was going on and babbling complete nonsense to her. We did about 16 dunks in the end - by the end I felt like I'd drowned a couple of times at least! I'll never touch the stuff again, [laughs] It's disgusting!" — DAVID OAKES

Alright everyone here’s a very stupid question!

Also yes. I have personally read fanfiction about every single one of these figures listed in the poll.

Even after 500 yrs , George is severely suffering from MIDDLE CHILD SYNDROME . Today in Tumblr, only three persons have wished him happy birthday.

Me ( dickon 777 )

You ( rmelster )

So sad , but it deserves for the treacherous middle brother.

Lemme fix that real quick: HEY, MY LIEGE @lordbettany ! The forsaken middle child is still a forsaken middle child.

who is george duke of clarance

Oh, hi!!! I love your blog and thank u so much for this question. So, this is a brief rundown because lots of people have yelled about him better than I have.

Right, George, Duke of Clarence was the middle brother to Edward IV and Richard III, so he's a pretty important lad. His dad was Richard, Duke of York (so the white rose in the Tudor rose) and his mum was Cecily Neville.

He's an important player during the Wars of the Roses - which faux-Welshman and my personal enemy Henry VII would eventually win - and all that entailed, but he was a schemer and so switched sides depending on what suited him.

He also married Isabel Neville who is the daughter of Richard Neville, Duke of Warwick, otherwise known as the Kingmaker (cuz he helped put Edward IV on the throne and ousted Henry VI) Coincidentally, her sister, Anne, married his brother, Richard.

The whole reason why I tagged him that mulled wine post? Well, a) I was severely seeped deprived and thought it was funny.

But the slightly more pertinent reason is that Edward VI executed his brother for treason and - so the story goes - did so in quite possibly the most ridiculous yet terrifying ways. He drowned him in a butt of Malmsey wine.

(There's no record of this, it's just a rumour, but I guarantee when you next have mulled wine you'll be thinking of this.)

If you wanna learn more there's a video here that goes a bit more in-depth:

Does anyone have ANY recommendations for biographies of George, Duke of Clarence? I can only find one that is out of print and another that looks...dodgy.
