Description

This Club is sponsored by the Richard III Society but it is an open forum for anybody interested in Richard III, The Wars of Roses and the later Medieval period generally.

Richard III lived and reigned during the Fifteenth Century. Therefore, this is a place where we discuss not only Richard himself but the Fifteenth and early Sixteenth Centuries as a whole. Events which affected Richard in his lifetime and shortly before and the consequences and aftermath of his brief reign.

This Forum is for the sole purpose of topics of historical interest.
