Thursday 16th January – Richard III: Hero or Villain? – Jim Robinson
The great majority of you will know Jim Robinson, ex-chairman of the Society, but what you may not know is that one of Jim’s great interests is Richard III, a controversial figure to put it mildly. Here is what Jim says by way of an introduction:
"‘What will men say of him?’ was the question asked following the great battle fought on Bosworth Field. They would say what they said of Richard III while he lived - and worse. That he was a tyrant, usurper of his nephew’s throne, and murderer. That he was hated by his enemies with a passion equally rare in any reign, that he was a heroic warrior, dynamic leader, regicide and a bloodthirsty despot. History and his own age have not been kind to the man who was one of England’s great enigmatic Kings and whose image even today is still surrounded by mystery and controversy.”
