New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for January 21, 2015

Here, let Ian McKellen do it.

Looks like Ric was about to do a different version of it.:“A ho, a ho, my kingdom for a ho!”

Best reading of that line was in the first episode of the original Black Adder!

I’m amazed they actually found Dickie’s bones, and he wasn’t a hunchback at all but just had a terrible scoliosis. There was a documentary on the creation of a suit of armor for a man with a similar condition which showed that Richard could indeed have ridden into the battle that killed him.

Reminds me of Monty Python’s “Hospital for Overacting” sketch with the Richard III ward.

Not equestrian- wise at least…

History is always written by the winners – when Shakespeare was writing he only had the Tudor’s version to go on and he was not going to paint Henry the Seventh in a bad light when his granddaughter was the reigning monarch! Richard was actually a very well liked by people.

First Shakespearean play I ever saw. 5th or 6th grade. Grey Chapel. Ohio Wesleyan University. 1969 or 1970.
