Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven

The letter dazzled Grant for a while until Amazon brought in the tea.He listened to twentieth-century sparrows clamoring on the windowsill, and marveled at himself reading sentences written by ancients four hundred years ago.It must have been wonderful for Richard to know that someone read his intimate note about Sul's wife and wondered about him, four hundred years later. "Isn't it great to have a letter for you?" Amazon said, bringing two buttered toasts and a crust. Grant moved his eyes from the 100 per cent healthy piece of hard bread to the letter, which was from Laura.

He happily unwrapped it. Dear Aaron Nothing (repeat: nothing) about history ever surprises me again.There is a great monument in Scotland to two women who were drowned, though they were neither drowned nor martyrs at all.They committed treason to the fifth column working for the Dutch invasion plans, I think.However, they were only prosecuted for violating the civil law. After they appealed to the Privy Council on their own, they were also granted a suspended sentence. This is still recorded by the Privy Council. This, of course, has not deterred Scottish martyr collectors, and their tragic stories, set against heartrending dialogue, are sold in bookstores large and small across Scotland.The dialogue in each storybook is completely different.

And one of the women is engraved on the tombstone of the churchyard in Vig Town: She was killed because she firmly believed in the Lord of Christ. The leader of his church, there is no crime, just because she did not accept the bishop, and she was thrown into the ground because she did not abandon the Presbyterian Church. She is Suffering for Jesus Christ they have even been the subject of a good Presbyterian prayer, as far as I know, though I have heard it.Tourists came here, shaking their heads at the monument and its moving inscription, and it was once profitable. In fact, the first person to collect this material visited the Vig area during the heyday of the Presbyterian Church, not more than forty years after the so-called martyrdom, and complained: "Many people deny it," and found There were no witnesses.

We are all relieved that you are recovering, which is very good news.If you arrange your sick leave well, you will hit a high tide.The water level is very low at this time, but by then it will be just high enough to please you and the fish. Love us Lola PS It's weird that when you tell someone the truth of a story, they all get mad at you instead of at the storyteller.They don't want to go against the original idea.It makes them feel vaguely uncomfortable, I think, and they don't like it.So they repel and refuse to think about it.It would be natural and understandable if they were just indifferent.But this feeling is very strong and obvious.They are abhorrent.

Weird, isn't it? More Tony Panty, he thought. He began to wonder how much of the history of England he had ever read in school books was Tony Pandey. Now that he knew some facts, he went back to the book of Saint Moore. See what the relevant passage means now. If he had only read them critically, they would have seemed to him nothing more than curiosity, and even absurdity in some places, but now they were repulsive to read. He was "smoking with rage" now, as Laura's little Pat used to say.And he still has a mystery in his heart. That's what Morton said.Morton was an eyewitness to the incident, as well as a participant.He knew every detail of what had happened throughout June of that year.However, he did not mention Elena.Ms. Butler; not to mention the Crown Bill.In Richard's case, according to Morton, Edward had previously married his mistress Elizabeth.

lucy.But Morton pointed out that Elizabeth.Lucy denies that she ever married the king. Why did Morton set up Jiusheju (annotation: a game of lining up nine bottles and knocking them down with two balls) just to let people knock it down? Why use Elizabeth.Lucy replaces Elena.Butler? Because, he could deny that Lucy had married the king, but he could not deny Irina. The fact that Butler was once married to the King? Of course, this assumption is based on the fact that it is very important to someone that Richard cannot claim that the crown prince is an illegitimate child. Since Morton—in the manuscript of the sage Moore—was writing for Henry VII, then that person should be Henry VII.Henry VII who destroyed the Act of King Power and forbade anyone to keep a copy.

What Carradine had said was now in Grant's mind. Henry repealed the bill before it was read. It was so important to Henry that the content of the bill should not be known to the outside world, that he had to destroy it especially before it was published. Why was it so important to Henry VII? Why did Richard's rights matter to Henry?That's not something he can fix by saying, "Richard's statement was fabricated, so I'm right."Regardless of Henry.What humble declarations Tudor has made, that is Lancaster's business, and the heirs of York can't talk about it.

So why was the content of the Act of Crown Power so important that Henry felt it must be forgotten? Why Elena.Butler hides and replaces her with a mistress whom no one ever suspects is married to the king? The question amused Grant until a note arrived from the porter just before dinner. "The man in the lobby says a young American friend of yours left you this." The porter handed him a half-folded piece of paper. "Thank you," Grant said. "What do you know about Richard III?" "Is there a prize?" "Why?" "There is a prize quiz."

"No, it's just curiosity. How much do you really know about Richard III?" "He's the No. 1 repeat murderer." "Recidivist? Isn't it just his two nephews?" "No, oh, no. I don't know much about history, but I do. Murder his brother, his cousin, the poor king in the tower, and finally his little nephew.Made this big ticket. " Grant pondered the statement. "What would you say if I told you he never murdered anyone?" "I'll say you can stand your ground. Some people believe the earth is flat. Some people believe it's the end of the world in A.D. 2000. Some people think the earth is only five thousand years old. At the Marble Gate in Hyde Park on Sunday You'll hear something funnier."

"So you don't find the idea at all interesting?" "It's okay in terms of fun, but not very reasonable, can you say so? But don't let me sway you.Try it on another occasion.You take that statement to Hyde Park and I bet you'll find a following.There might even be a movement. " He raised his right hand, saluted gracefully and naturally, hummed a song to himself, and walked away calmly and unmoved. Help me, Grant thought, I'm actually not far from this step.If I'd gotten any deeper into the matter, I'd be standing on the soapbox in Hyde Park.

He opened Caratine's message and read: "You said you wanted to know if the other heirs to the throne had escaped Richard. I mean the same as the boys. I forgot to tell you: would you like to help me They make a list so I can look it up. I think it's important." Well, if most of the world is humming and walking briskly and uncaringly, at least this young American is on his side. He put aside the sage Moore for a moment, dismissing the book's Sunday newspaper hysterical scenes and violent accusations.He reached for his more serious student history textbook, so he could find out who Richard III's likely rivals were for the English throne. Just as he put Moore.When Morton put it down, something suddenly occurred to him. Moore's description of the hysterical scene at the Tower of London meeting, in which Richard's side furiously accuses someone of using witchcraft to shrink his arm, is aimed at Jane.Xiu Er. The scenes Moore describes seem, even to an impartial reader, distasteful and obnoxious, in striking contrast to the kind, tolerant, almost careless letter written by Richard. So, save me, he thought again, if I had to choose between the person who wrote the story and the letter, I would choose the person who wrote the letter, no matter what they did. anything else. The thought of Morton had put him off making a list of York's heirs, but it struck him, John.Morton is one of them.It seems that he used the spare time when he was a guest in Buckingham to try to unite the forces of Woodville and Lancaster (Henry. Domestic Conspirator), he later ran to the Erie area where he used to hunt, and from there fled to the Continent.He never returned, and it was not until Henry won the Battle of Bostwood and took the throne that he set out for Canterbury, where he donned the hat of the Archbishop and became the immortal Fork of Morton. It is often said that "the rich have money to pay taxes, but the poor may not be really poor". It is said that this sentence came from Morton, so it was used to describe Morton's ruthlessness in forcing taxes).This is almost the only memory that all schoolchildren have of his master Henry VII.Grant happily spent the whole evening flipping through history textbooks and searching for heirs to the throne. Edward: Edward, Prince of Wales Richard, Duke of York Elizabeth Cecilia Catherine Bridget Elizabeth: John.Pole, Earl of Lincoln George: Edward, Earl of Warwick Margaret, Countess of Salisbury Richard: John of Gloucester - quite a lot.Edward's five.George's son and daughter.If the illegitimate and disenfranchised ones were not counted, there was one other person who was entitled to inherit: his sister Elizabeth's son.Elizabeth is the Duchess of Suffolk and her son is John.Ball, Earl of Lincoln. There was another boy that Grant hadn't thought of.The delicate child at Midham was not Richard's only son. He had an illegitimate son; a boy named John.John of Gloucester. A child who doesn't matter in class, but is known and lives in the family.In that era, bringing an illegitimate child home was a matter of course.In fact, it was King William I the Conqueror who started the trend, and every conqueror since then has seen it as beneficial and harmless.Maybe it's a kind of compensation. He copied it down for Carat's use, wondering how anyone, especially Richard, would think that getting rid of Edward's two sons would give him peace of mind.This place is, to paraphrase Karatine, an heir apparent.Everyone should be a thorn in Richard's side. It was the first day he had felt that murdering the two children was not only useless, but foolish. It would be foolish to say that there was one quality that Richard of Gloucester did not possess. He went to Oliphant's book to see what Oliphant had to say about this apparent loophole. "Strangely," said Oliphant, "Richard has not published any version of their deaths." Strange isn't enough to describe it: it's simply unreasonable. If Richard wanted to kill his brother's son, of course he would do it beautifully. They may have died of a high fever, and their remains would be seen, as is the royal tradition, so that it would be known that they had indeed passed away.No one can say that a person will not kill. Grant, who has worked in the police for many years, knows this well-but one can be sure that a certain person will not do stupid things under certain circumstances. Oliphant, however, is not suspicious of the murder.Richard, according to Oliphant, is the monster Charlie.Perhaps when a historian must span the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, he may not have time to stop and analyze the details.Oliphant accepts the words of the sage Moore, even though he pauses in the process to doubt all kinds of doubts here and there, without seeing that these doubts have eaten away at the basis of his theory. He continued to read the Oliphant in his hand.After the coronation, Oxford, Gloucester, Worcester, Warwick, there was no record of dissent as the victorious procession crossed England. There are only blessings and gratitude along the way.A joyful atmosphere of anticipation of the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people arises spontaneously.After all, Edward's death didn't pit them against factional feuds, and a new government was formed over his young son. However, with the unanimous support of the whole country and the praise of the whole country (according to the statement that Oliphant originated from the sage Moore), Richard actually sent Terrij to London to get rid of the children who were doing their homework in the tower.Between July 7th and 15th: at Warwick.In the summer when he was firmly on the throne, in the heart of Yorkshire, on the border with Wales, he planned to destroy two children who were not trusted by the people. It's a very unreasonable story. He began to wonder whether the minds of historians were as lacking in common sense as those so-called wise men he had encountered before, and so gullible. He had to find out at once why Terry had committed the crime in 1485 and it wasn't on the books until twenty years later.Where has he been during this time? But Richard's summer was expected to be as cold as April's spring.All hopes were dashed.In the fall, he had to face a combined Woodville-Lancaster invasion that Morton had planned before fleeing.Lancaster had done what Morton could be proud of: they had brought a French fleet and French troops.But all that Woodville could offer was scattered and sporadic raids: at Kidver, Salisbury, Virtuestone, Newbury, Exeter, and Bracon.The English don't want Henry at all.Tudor, they knew him all too well.Even the British weather played a role.Dorset meets his half-sister, Henry.With the hopes of Elizabeth, Tudor's wife, swept away by the flood of Seben, Henry attempted to land westward, only to find the people of Devon and Cornwall very angry at the idea.He had to fly back to France and wait for the next opportunity.Dorset, on the other hand, joined the growing number of exiles from Woodville, awaiting reinforcements from France. So Morton's plan was dissolved by the autumn rains and the indifference of the English, and Richard was able to breathe for a while;Richard's son died. "It is said that the king is sad all day long; even with such a devil, there is still affection between father and son," said the historian. It seems that the relationship between husband and wife is still there.Less than a year later, his wife Ann died, and Richard is reported to have shared similar grief. The next blow is the turn of the last failed invasion. Richard is worried about defending Britain and anxious about the empty treasury. He did his best.Under him, there was one of the best Congresses ever. He finally made peace with Scotland and arranged for his niece to marry James III's son.He tried very hard to make peace with France, but failed.France was ruled by Henry.Tudor, and Henry.Tudor is France's petite obstinacy.It was only a matter of time before Henry landed in England, but this time he came prepared. Grant suddenly thought of Lady Stanley, Henry's effusive Lancastrian mother.What role did Lady Stanley play in the aggression of Richard's accession autumn? He searched through the pile of type until he found it. Ms Stanley was convicted of treason with her son. But once again Richard was so kind to his enemies that he hurt himself.Her property was confiscated, but given to her husband.Her people were also returned to her husband for safety reasons.Sadly, Stanley himself, of course, knew as much about the invasion as his wife did. Indeed, the devil didn't act like one. While Grant was half asleep, a voice said in his head: "If the children are murdered in July and the Woodville-Lancasters invade in October, why don't they Public outrage over child murder charges?" The invasion had obviously been planned long before the murder controversy; it was a grand operation with fifteen ships and five thousand mercenaries that required long preparations.But if there were rumors against Richard, they should have been flying around when they sent troops.Why didn't they clamor and spread his crimes in England, so that people would eat their ladles to welcome the king?
