We have had several posts on this subject, yet somehow one inescapable fact
has eluded all of us, that of Edward IV`s taking the throne by conquest in
1471, this one fact negates all arguments that the it wasn`t his by right,
whether his father were Duke Richard, Blaybourne the archer, the butcher, the baker
or the candlestick maker ...so far as his parentage goes, My money remains on
Duke Richard as I can`t concieve of Henry VI`s Queen Marguerite`s spies at the
English court between 1460-1470 not bringing her the story and her mobilizing
an army and public opinion with it.
sincerely,
James W Cummings
