RICHARD: Three glorious suns, each one a perfect sun; ... EDWARD: 'Tis wondrous strange, the like yet never heard of. I think it cites us, brother, to the field, That we, the sons of brave Plantagenet, Each one already blazing by our meeds, Should notwithstanding join our lights together And over-shine the earth as this the world. Whate'er it bodes, henceforward will I bear 665 Upon my target three fair-shining suns.

THE WHITE QUEEN 10-Year Anniversary Week -> Favorite Villain: George Duke of Clarence

[lasthumaninwales]

Combining things my wife and I are really into at the moment, I'm just imagining Alison and Mike taking a trip to London, and Alison making friends with all the Tower of London ghosts.

Anne Boleyn: So it truly does not bother you? The... head thing?

Alison: No, I have, uh, a friend with a similar condition...

Lot of people with their heads tucked under their arms, and George, Duke of Clarence, sulking and dripping wine all over the place...

Rewatching The White Queen after watching House of The Dragon and I can't stop thinking about how George and Richard look like adult version of Jace and Luke. XD

if i were george duke of clarence and you were my assassin you would really feel something while i'm pleading for my life right? if i were george duke of clarence imprisoned on my brother the king's suspicion and my other brother richard duke of gloucester sent you to murder me for rich reward, you would at least think of not killing me right? you'd hesitate forsooth? which of you if you were a prince's son being pent from liberty as i am now if two such murderers as yourselves came to you would not entreat for life? a begging prince what beggar pities not?

She is wearing a bracelet charm in the shape of a barrell.. :')

"Sitter: Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury (1473-1541), Noblewoman. Sitter associated with 2 portraits.

Artist: Unknown.

This portrait: The identity of the sitter in this portrait is not certain, but is traditionally thought to be Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury. The honeysuckle blossom has connotations of love and faithfulness, and the tiny barrel charm may be an allusion to the execution of her father George, Duke of Clarence, who was apparently drowned in a butt of malmsey wine (sweet wine imported from Greece)."

Reimagining the Sons of York ~ A guest post by Wendy Johnson

Richard III (1452 – 1485) (Wendy Johnson) Re-imagining the Sons of York ~ A guest post by Wendy Johnson When I began work on my debut novel, The Traitor’s Son, a retelling of the turbulent life of a young Richard III, I decided to keep the action close. Focussing on deep-seated family relationships, the novel reimagines Richard’s early years as he matures from a troubled child to a courageous…

"George is the perfect example of everything the show is not about...He is just a bit of a swine quite frankly and a delight to play with. I don't think there is anything to dislike about George. I think he is perfectly charming in almost absolutely every way. [laughs]" — David Oakes.

Made what is undoubtedly the nerdiest fanvid I've ever done (see the end), featuring The White Queen and The White Princess.

In the modern day, Isabel Neville and George Plantagenet would be one of those couples where the girl keeps posting gushy stuff on Facebook and Instagram about how happy they are, accompanied by selfies where she's holding the phone up to it's most flattering angle, and he's stood next to her looking like he has literally never smiled in his life.

A Plantagenet Christmas - Moodboard II

[travllingbunny]

Thank you so much! Richard III has been most fascinating character. He has always remained engima to me. He is either thoroughly romanticised or heavily criticized. Some also genuinely believe that he was responsible for George death. Thanks for clearing that up as well.

You're welcome.

People do go to extremes when Richard III is concerned. Some of it are controversies and disputes around interpreting historical facts (like whether or not he took the throne legitimately, or what happened with the 'Princes in the Tower'), but some of it comes from people simply conflating fiction and myth with history.

This is a case with the idea that Richard was in any way responsible for his brother's George's death - an accusation that was only first made long, long after his death and that doesn't come from any of the contemporary or near conttemporay sources. (On the contrary, contemporary gossip was that Richard was against George's execution and that this was the reason for his animosity against the Woodvilles and why he stayed away from Edward's court after 1478.) Not even Henry VII's court historian Polydore Vergil made that accusation writing his history decades after Richard's death.

The myth took a life of its own and a bunch of unlikely things were added and piled up over the next century, getting their final form in Shakespeare's play. And that included weirdly reducing the role of Edward IV in the events of his own reign, and blaming his younger brother Richard for things Edward was clearly responsible for, such as George's execution.
