A Winter of discount tents, you say? Could be a sales winner.

I like the way Henry VII backdated his reign by a day so he could claim that everyone fighting for Richard III commited treason.

Why if it prosper, none dare call it treason."

not according to the report

Little has ever been known about Richard III’s death, other than he died on the battlefield and was supposedly taken on horseback by his vanquisher, Henry Tudor, who later became King Henry VII.

Archaeologists believe they have found skeleton of King Richard III - Telegraph

'ere, I thought he ended up chopped into little pieces.
