When I say "I like Richard III", I'm not saying I condone or absolve the real historical figure. What I love is the Trinity of Richard III the fictionalised villain, Richard III the fictionalised hero and Richard III, the unknowable approximation of a real person that can be scraped together from historical records. Three separate entities often at total odds with one another and yet conceptually one person. It's the multi-faceted, contradictory, vague idea of him that finds a new way back into the Zeitgeist again and again that I love. He's become folklore.

So tomorrow is my birthday and my dad gave me my present early

Read the entire thing in just a few hours, couldn’t put it down. My God…my heart is broken. Everything feels so raw, so realistic, like I could truly feel what the characters were feeling. Richard and Anne’s relationship was portrayed beautifully, perfectly showing the love they had for each other to the end. But of course when Dickon died I cried…and how his enemies immediately began spreading their horrific lies after his death. My consolation is that he is with Anne now and his murderers are paying eternally for what they did. Thank God he was at least buried properly a few years ago (though far too late). I do think he should be buried with Anne, the love of his life.

RIP. I highly recommend this book, though you absolutely will cry.

This is it, my big analysis of The Lost King's fashion.

It's mainly a carryover from my original reblog, but now with more pictures. Sources will be hyperlinked and once the main piece is done will receive a document of their own.

Comparison points are used as following. Richard III (1955), The Hollow Crown, 2014, and the White Queen, 2013. Richard iii 1995 was not chosen as a contender due to the fact it’s set in 1930s and is an outlier.

We're going from the top down.
