Such a wonderful surprise in the mail this morning. A postcard from the Earl and Duchess of Devon after they bumped into some dear friends of mine. Such a kind gesture from all four of them who were researching separately at the cathedral. Thank you. #medieval #middlesges #earlofdevon #countessofdevon #exetercathedral #exeter #katshats #blessed #thankyou (at Exeter Cathedral) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch_sJiSLF-K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Your Grace, would you have a moment to speak with me? It's about Richard! I am concerned for his welfare. He needs to have a purpose in life. Would the king's grace consider giving him a position at court to keep him on the straight and narrow?" She pauses the hurried flow of her words and suddenly wonders if she already said too much. "I apologise Your Grace! It just came out!"

She definetly shared the same York trait that her Queen sister or her brother. But differently to her brother, she knew the perfectly the protocole of Henry’s court and knew when to step back. “You are right. Your brother needs a defined place and title. A man can not live without a purpose… perhaps it is time for him to have a family on his own? A wife with children?” he replied, his eyes gauging Catherin’s reaction to his words, “But which sane woman would marry a man without a position? Perhaps… a high title then? Not Prince of course but a Duke maybe?”
