Is there any truth to this? I can see where left-handed men may have been taught to fight with their right hand, just as left-handed schoolchildren used to be taught to write with the right hand, but I have a hard time believing that anyone actually went around monitoring prospective knights to make sure that they ...

One team gets to work on identifying the different theories and suspects surrounding the missing princes - Edward V and Richard. It's been a joy watching their progress.

For my work in progress, I want to know what the full text of Jasper Tudor's will says. (There's an abstract in Testamenta Vestusa (sp?), but I want the whole thing.) So I paid a researcher from the UK to transcribe the thing for me, and a month has passed without receiving anything from him. He's promised something soon, but I don't think I'll be using him again.

Hi, I'm Jules, although most of you know me from my posting name of Lady D. As well as now running this forum, I also have a blog or two - the main one being Lady Despenser's Scribery. As you may have guessed from this my main area of interest is the life and 'career' of Hugh Despenser the younger - all round bad-boy and very special friend of Edward II! However, I am trying my damndest to find some good things about him!
