"the king of scots, with all his power..."

Holy crap there are present-day Jacobites.

They think Elizabeth should have taken the throne in 1485? I hadn't heard of that before.

To clarify, I mean Elizabeth of York, 1444-1503, eldest sister of Richard III, not Elizabeth of York, 1466-1503, eldest daughter of Edward IV, niece of Richard III, and (then-future) wife of Henry VII.

I imagine they view Henry VII as a filthy Welsh usurper, and go around with placards on their coaches reading "ABT: Anyone But Tydder!"

Oh, I just meant by Ricardians, folks trying to clear up the historical record, as an example of folks who still feel strongly about such things hundreds of years later.
