Foremost among these, temporally and popularly, are the examples of Elizabeth Woodville and Anne Boleyn. Undoubtedly, these cases hold great significance to cultural studies of the temporal periods in which the English identify as participants, but they also aid in seeing the eventual popular degradation of women from chaste matrons

et was a decisive engagement in the Wars of the Roses, a dynastic conflict of 15th-century England. The military action, along with the subsequent Battle of Tewkesbury, secured the throne for Edward IV. On 14 April 1471 near Barnet, then a small Hertfordshire town north of London, Edward led the House of York in a fight against the House of Lancaster, which backed Henry VI for the throne. Leading the Lancastrian army was Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick, who played a crucial role in the fate

The fate of the Princes in the Tower has baffled historians and laymen alike for over half a millennium. Despite centuries of investigations, this deeply shrouded mystery continues to produce more questions than answers. Was the young boy king and his brother murdered on the orders of their nefarious uncle, Richard III? Or were the members of the rival house- the Lancasters- responsible for this heinous crime? In my paper, I will examine the facts and events leading up to the boys’ supposed disappearance

There is a clear pattern throughout history of propaganda, myths and contemporary sources clouding the true reality of events. Richard III is seen to be one of England 's most disputed kings; a monarch who brings with him a legend of negative connotations. There are seen to be many arguments as to whether or not the mischievous king was subject to be condemned by his 'black legend ' or fits the description issued by keen Richard III adversaries. These sceptics see Richard depicted under the 'black

During this time, however, the marriage of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville was declared illegitimate, along with their children. This meant Edward could no longer inherit the throne, and Richard and Anne Neville were instead crowned. After the Princes were declared illegitimate, it is claimed they were never seen again

The first citizen was optimistic, the second one was very fearful and the third one was pessimistic .the pessimistic citizen was worried about the new king being a boy. Richard wasn’t too fond of the new king either. He thought that Gloucester vs Woodville would mean trouble for the kingdom. But at that time Richard and Edward IV were very close .They were loyal towards one another. Richard shared exile with Edward 1470-1471. They returned to England together .Richard was a general, during the Battles

Richard III and the Stability of England Richard became King of England on July the sixth 1483 after the heir to the throne was proclaimed illegitimate. Whether this claim was true or not is questionable. During Richards reign, the stability of England has been debated. Was he the ruler England needed to end the 'Wars of the Roses' and bring stability back to the English people? Or did he cause England to be restless and unsettled? Is it a good thing that Henry

authority, seems to put forward that he was the tyrant of Shakespeare's play. He also professed that he had been informed, by a Bishop, of how Edward had been betrothed to a woman by the name of Eleanor Boteles, before his marriage to Elizabeth in 1464.
