#of his pre-teen nephews absolutely broke all parameters of politically and personally acceptable behaviour in medieval England

this is a Princes in the Tower and Edward of Lancaster stan account btw
#I do not want to hear one word against Edward of Lancaster
#not a single one
#least of all if you're a yorkist stan who thinks that edmund of rutland's death in battle at 17 by his father's enemies is a tragedy
#while simultaneously thinking that edward of lancaster's death in battle at the same age by HIS father's enemies is a cause of celebration
#deeply embarrassing and unserious behaviour
#and where to even start with how the majority of self-declared 'Yorkists' treat the Princes in the Tower 🤡
#I've truly never seen anything like it
#first they try to vilify two children (including a literal 9-year-old) for being 'Woodvilles'
#which in their minds is synonymous to greed/duplicity/ambition/unworthiness aka how they view the Princes' mother
#then they try to deny that their vaunted Richard III murdered them even though they're perfectly willing to believe John murdered Arthur
#then they try to argue that Richard III was just 'a man of his times' and downplay his actions even though his usurpation and deposition
#of his pre-teen nephews absolutely broke all parameters of politically and personally acceptable behaviour in medieval England
#then they try to argue that ACTUALLY the Princes don't matter and we shouldn't spend so much time talking about them
#(says the person who spends all their time trying to convince people on the internet that Richard didn't kill them)
#then they try to argue that finding out what happened to the Princes shouldn't affect our reading of Richard III and won't change how we
#view his reign
#even though it absolutely affected how contemporaries viewed him and was what provoked opposition to his rule
#like. what is happening here. where is this one-sided beef against a long-dead 12-year-old and 9-year-old coming from?
#are you okay?
