Chapter 6 chapter Five

"Ruby's Rose" is obviously a fiction, but at least it is much more accessible than Tenner's history of the Constitution of England. In addition, it is a fairly well-documented historical novel, in other words, it looks like history written in dialogue. It is a biography full of imagination rather than a story of imagination.Evelyn.Penny-Alice, whoever she is, provided the portrait and the genealogy, and it doesn't look like the author wanted to write what he and Cousin Laura called "stereotyped essays" when they were kids.There is no literary gossip in the book, it is a simple and clear work.Its literary talent is more dazzling than Mr. Tanner's writings, much more dazzling.

Grant believed that if you couldn't understand a person, the next best thing was to try to understand his mother.So in Marta brought him the divine, invulnerable Thomas.Before Moore's personal evaluation of Richard, he is very happy-reading Cecily.The Life of the Duchess of York, Neville. He glanced at the genealogy and thought that the two brothers, Edward and Richard, were not only the most experienced kings in common life, but also the most pure-blooded kings in England.He looked at their lineage and marveled, from Naville, Fitzland, Percy, Holland, Martinmer, Clifford, and Queen Elizabeth of Odili and Brantagenet all British (which also made Queen Elizabeth proud); if Welsh's branch is considered British.Compared with all the outstanding kings who were only half English--half French, half-Spanish, half-Danish, half-Dutch, half-Portuguese, between the Norman conquest of England and Farmer George, Edward IV's and Richard III's native-born good qualities Not too much.

He also noticed that the royal blood on their mother's side was not inferior to that on their father's side. Cecily.Neville's grandfather was John of Gaut, first of the Lancastrian dynasty and third son of Edward III.Her husband's two grandfathers were Edward III's other two sons, so three of Edward III's five children contributed to the birth of the two York brothers. "As a Neville family," said Miss Peneelles, "there was always some weight, because they were big landowners. The Nevilles were almost all beautiful, because they were a good-looking family. Neville The family members are quite unique, because they are good at expressing their characters and temperament. The one who possesses these three kinds of Naville's talents at the same time and exerts them to the extreme is Cecily. Before the army chooses sides, Cecily Naville is the only rose in the north."

The argument of Miss Berneelles, Cecily and Richard.There was love in the marriage between Branta Genet and the Duke of York.Grant viewed such claims with skepticism bordering on contempt until he noticed the product of the marriage.In the fifteenth century, having one child a year meant nothing, except that they were productive.And Cecily's having so many children for her handsome husband can only show that they do live together, but it doesn't necessarily mean that this is love.But the role of a wife in those days was to be a docile stay at home and run the household, Cecily.Neville always accompanied her husband on his trips, which seemed proof enough that they were happy together.The extent and frequency of their travels can be seen in the birthplaces of her children.Her first child, Ann, was born in Fiddlering Hey, at their old home in North Hamptonshire.Henry, who died in infancy, was born in Hatfield.Edward was born in Loen, where the Duke actually performs official duties.Edmund and Elizabeth were also born at Loen.

Margaret was born in Feldlinghey.John, who died young, was born in Nice, Wales.George was born in Dublin (couldn't it, Grant thought, be too good to talk George to have something almost Irish in his temper?), Richard in Fiddlendale. Cecily.Instead of sitting at home in North Hamptonshire, waiting for her master to visit her when he thought fit, Neville traveled with him.This fits well with Miss Penny-Alice's theory.Even if you are critical, you will think this is a very successful marriage. This may explain why Edward visited his two younger brothers every day when they lived in the Bastons' apartment.The York family was united, even long before the ordeal.

Unexpectedly, something special popped up on a few pages while he was flipping through it, it was a letter.A letter from two older boys, Edward and Edmund, to their father.The boys were educated at Laudlow Castle, and on the Saturday of Easter week, when someone was going home, they entrusted him with a severe criticism of the teacher they hated, and asked their father to listen to the messenger. The story of the day. william.Smith, who brought back all the details of their oppression.The plea for help was quite polite, though the formality was spoiled a little by the filler at the end, where they thanked him for sending the clothes, but he forgot to send their prayer book.

The conscientious author, Miss Penny-Ellis, also annotated the letter (it appears to be a manuscript written on tissue paper), and he now turned much more slowly, hoping to find more.The police are most hungry for evidence of fact. He couldn't find anything, but he saw a family ethics drama, which he read for a while. The Duchess stepped outside and, bathed in the thin but harsh light of a London December morning, stood on the steps to watch them go: her husband, her brother, and her son.Dirk and his nephews led the horses into the courtyard, where on the cobbled ground there were pigeons and noisy sparrows in twos and threes.

She looked at her husband, steady and deliberate as ever, and thought that the only time he showed his true self was when he was going to ride to Feldlinghey to see the new rams, not when he was going to war.Salisbury, her older brother, was typical of the Nevilles; good at reading people and always too busy pleasing everyone.She looked at them both and smiled at them inwardly.But it was Edmond who took her heart deeply.Edmund was seventeen years old, very thin, very raw, very vulnerable.He flushed with pride and excitement for his first expedition.She wanted to say to her husband, "Take care of Edmond," but could not.Her husband would not understand her, and Edmond would be furious if he suspected it.If Edward, who was only a year older than he, was now leading his own army on the border of Chengers, then he, Edmund, should be old enough to go out and see battle for himself.

She glanced at the three younger children who came out after her; Margaret and George, who were very beautiful, and behind them—he always lagging behind was their ugly duckling, Richard.His dark eyebrows and brown hair make him look like an outsider.The kind and sloppy Margaret, who was fourteen years old, couldn't help but get wet seeing all this.George was envious and jealous, because he was only eleven years old and had no chance of fighting. The thin little Li couldn't see any excitement, but his mother thought that his heart was beating a small drum. Three war horses galloped out of the courtyard, their hooves clattering, their equipment tinkling, and they joined the ranks of servants waiting by the roadside.The children yelled, danced, and waved their hands as they left the gate of the manor.

As for Cecily, she had never seen so many men, so many of her family go out to fight at the same time.After returning home, she felt heavier than ever. Although she was reluctant to do so, she couldn't help but think, who of them will never come back? However, she did not expect that none of them would come back.She never saw any of them again. Before that year was over, her husband's grave-faced head, with the paper crown that had insulted him, hung high over the gates of the city of Myco in York, and her brother's and her son's on two other on a door. It may be fictional, but it gives a better understanding of Richard.The brunette in the blonde family, the "ugly duckling" who looks "like an outsider".

He did not look at Cecily for now.Naville's part, began searching the book for her son Richard.But Miss Penny-Ellis didn't seem very interested in Richard.He is just a little tail in the family, born to please his mother at home, while Edward is the best when he goes out.Edward and his Neville cousin Warwick, son of Salisbury, won the Battle of Towton together, when the Lancastrian ferocity was still fresh and his father's head was nailed At Miko's gate, his performance proved that he is a man of tolerance.A quarter of the people in Torton say so.He was established as King of England at Westminster Abbey (the two young boys in exile at Utreck were also dukes of Clarence and Gloucester).He buried his father and his brother Edmund with great pomp and ceremony at church in Fiddlen Hay (though escorting the mournful procession, which traveled five full days from Yorkshire in July to North Hampshire in honor It was Richard, then thirteen, in County Don; nearly six years later, he stood on the steps of Bernard Castle as they rode off.) It was not until after Edward had been king for some time that Miss Benedict brought Richard back into the story.He was educated at Midham, Yorkshire, with his Neville cousins. There was a strange air in Richard's mind as he rode back into the shadow of the castle, away from the bright sun and wind of Wensley.The guard at the door spoke excitedly and loudly, but stopped awkwardly when he appeared.Not only that, but the square that was supposed to be crowded with people at this time also seemed extremely quiet.It was close to supper-time, and habit or hunger would bring the inhabitants of Midham home from all kinds of work, just as he had ended his wanderings at this hour and returned home for supper.It was unusual to feel so quiet and abandoned.He led his horse into the stable, but no one was there waiting to take the horse.As he unsaddled his saddle, he noticed a sleepy brown horse in the adjacent stall.The horse did not belong to Midham, he was so tired that he didn't even bother to eat, but his head hung between his knees dejected and exhausted. Richard cleaned his horse, threw a blanket over him, and fed him some hay and fresh water before leaving.He thought suspiciously of the worn-out horse and the mysterious stillness.As he stopped at the gate, he heard faint voices in the hall, and just as he was considering whether to go there first to see what was going on before going upstairs to his room, came from above the stairs: "Shh ..." called his voice. Looking up, his cousin Ann's head sticks out of the handrail, and her two long and beautiful braids hang down like two ropes tied with bells. "Richard!" she whispered to him, "did you hear that?" "Any questions?" he asked. "What's wrong?" She grabbed his hand as he approached her and dragged him toward their classroom on the top floor. "What the hell is it?" he asked, leaning back as if protesting his urgency. "What happened? Too scary to tell me here?" She pushed him into the classroom and closed the door. "It's Edward!" "Edward? Is he ill?" "No! It's a scandal!" "Oh," said Richard, relieved.Scandals were nothing short of routine for Edward. "What's wrong? Does he have a new mistress? " "Worse! Oh, w-worse, he's married." "Married?" said Richard, sounding quite calm in disbelief. "impossible." "But he is married, the news came back from London an hour ago." "He can't possibly marry," insisted Richard. "The king's marriage is a big thing, a contract, an agreement, and even the whole parliament, I think. Why do you think he's married?" "It's not what I think," Ann said, and he accepted it so calmly after she said it for a long time, which made her a little impatient. "The whole family was angrily discussing it in the lobby." "Ann! Are you listening at the door?" "Oh, don't be so serious. After all, I didn't listen to Zhiyao very carefully. I could hear it from the other side of the river. He married Ms. Gray!" "Who's Ms. Gray? Ms. Gray from Globe?" "yes." "But it's impossible, she has two children and they are quite old." "She's five years older than Edward, but incredibly beautiful—that's what I overheard." "When did it happen?" "They've been married five months. Secretly in Northampton." "But I thought he would marry the King of France's sister." Ann said in a meaningful tone, "My dad did too." "Indeed, it's very embarrassing for him, isn't it? After negotiating for so long." "The courier from London said he used to get into a fit of rage, which made him look like a fool. She seemed to have a whole army of relatives, and he hated every single one of them. " "Edward must be possessed." In Richard's hero-worshipping eyes, everything Edward did was right.The only reason he was stupid, admittedly, without reason, was because he was possessed. "That would break my mother's heart," he said.He thought of his mother's courage when his father and Edmund had been slain, and when the Lancastrian army approached the gates of London.She didn't cry or wrap herself in a protective veil of self-pity.She arranged for him and George to go to Utreck in Holland, just as she arranged for them to go to school.They might never see each other again, but she calmly, with practicality not shedding a tear, kept herself busy getting them the warm clothes they needed to cross the English Channel in winter. How could she bear this, a blow from outside?This destructive fool. This destroys all folly. "Yes," Ann said softly. "Poor Aunt Cecily. It's a heinous crime, a heinous crime, for Edward to hurt everyone like this." But Edward was still flawless.If he did something wrong it was because he was sick, possessed, bewitched.Edward still had Richard's loyalty; a whole-hearted, almost worshipful loyalty. Even after so many years that loyalty—adult loyalty based on recognition and acceptance—is still so wholehearted. Then the story progresses to Cecily.She was both happy and ashamed of Neville's pain, and how she was trying to mend her relationship with her son Edward, but her nephew Warwick was furious. There is also a long passage describing how this strong beauty with her famously gilded hair managed to do what other gentle beauties could not; and her enthronement at Westminster Abbey Assuming the throne amidst protests, Warwick could not help thinking of the extended Woodville family who would see their sister Elizabeth ascend the throne as Queen of England. The next time Richard appears in the story, he is penniless and ready to go to Lynn, and just when there is nothing else to do, a Dutch ship happens to be moored in the harbour.He was accompanied by his elder brother Edward, Edward's friend Hastings, and some attendants.These people had no money other than the whole outfit. After some disputes, the captain agreed to use Edward's fur hat as the fare. Warwick had finally decided he had had enough of the Woodvilles, who had helped his cousin Edward to the throne of England, and he could have taken him down just as easily.The move has the support of all of Neville's family, including, unbelievably, even Mr George.He felt that it would be more cost-effective to marry Warwick's other daughter, Isabel, to inherit half of the land in Montego, Naville, and Bijump than to be loyal and loyal to his brother Edward.In eleven days, Warwick had taken England by surprise with a successful coup, and Edward and Richard had to stagger on their way through the October mud between Akamo and Hagrid.
