Opis

On December 27, 1550 an old man named Richard Plantagenet was buried at Eastwell in Kent. He had spent much of his life working as a bricklayer, but, unusually for a bricklayer, he could read Latin. He eventually told his employer that he was a natural son of Richard III. Yet, if this was true, why was he not publicly acknowledged by the king? The fact that he was called Richard Plantagenet is also revealing. Had he simply been Richard III's bastard, he would have been styled "of Gloucester" or given the name of his birthplace. And where is the evidence that Prince Richard actually died?
