as long as i have you;

Dedicated to Richard III and his queen, Anne Neville. All adaptions and history, but mostly The White Queen. And then with surprising suddenness, Richard was there… with a greeting frozen on his lips and eyes only for Anne.

any richanne book recs? I'm currently reading the white queen of middleham by lesley j nickell

I would definitely recommend the sunne in splendour by sharon kay penman! it starts when richanne are children, and there are some very sweet moments. after that it takes a bit to get to the richanne goodness, of course, but it's definitely worth it!

would you recommend the book that you're reading? :)

“Richard only reigned for just over two years. If we look.. at the pieces of good governance that [Richard] achieved during his incredibly short reign, they were quite staggering.

His first act as king was to call his judges to him and to decree that they dispense justice without fear or without favour for all members of society… What you can see from Richard’s laws is that he was very clearly enacting against things like extortion and corruption and bribery, and he wanted to make it a much more fair society. His laws were bold and enlightened, and they were clearly focused on making life fairer and more bearable for the ordinary people.

“To give a sense of how Richard was regarded at the time, there’s a quote from the [contemporary] Bishop of St David’s, Thomas Langton, who wrote in a private letter… ‘He contents the people wherever he goes, for many a poor man hath been relieved and helped by him. I have never liked the condition of any prince as well as his. God hath sent him to us for the wellbeing of us all’.”

While the finger of suspicion had pointed at Richard for the past 500 years [for the murder of his nephews], “when you actually look into the evidence and the balance of probabilities – if [the princes] died, who killed them – you have to look at who had the most to gain. Now, for Henry Tudor, those two boys had to be dead for him to become king. But for Richard, to enact a murder like that when he was already the anointed king of England… Richard would be putting his crown in jeopardy. There’s this irony that a man who lived and fought for justice most of his life has suffered a particular great injustice.” [x]

Everything I thought I knew has been shaken. Perhaps there’s no honor in anyone and each of us is alone.

Take care you do not cut the Neville affinity away from yourself. I am the Kingmaker’s daughter, and many in the North only follow you for love of me. They’ll turn against you if they think you shame me.
