Thanks for the thrilling music and the great narration.
The study of Richard III is fascinating. First reading Josephine Tey’s delightful mystery classic THE DAUGHTER OF TIME lead to more research. Richard was the Last Plantagenet… the last English king to lose the crown in battle… and faced with the survival of his family or the families of his brother- he chose his own (poor, poor princes in The Tower). Shakespeare’ play is a hoot- but history is always embroidered by fiction.
Never the less… this inspired music seemed right to bring to the front on the day they announced the ancient bones were indeed those of the INFAMOUS king.
"Conscience is but a word that cowards use,
devised at first to keep the strong in awe.
Our strong arms be our conscience, swords, our law".
Thank you very much for your share, my friend.
And entertain a score or two of tailors
To study fashions to adorn my body.
Shine ou, fair sun, till I have bought a glass,
That I may see my shadow as I pass."
