Well, I said I'd get back on this Laura, and I'm afraid I have nothing concrete to offer the poor chap! I searched through my copies of the relevant Calendar...
Hi Laura More on Catesby: this time from Sutton/Visser-Fuchs book on R3's Coronation (the Bios in the back): Sir JOHN Catesby, uncle to 'our' Wm. Catesby, was...
Lorraine I don't know anything specific about Catesby, but to be a knight - Sir John Say - was no bar to being Speaker of the Commons, and still is not. In...
Many thanks for your detailed clarification, Ann. This was pretty much in line with what I thought originally, but after a bit I started doubting myself. For...

... Etc. Thanks to all who contributed to this thread. I will try to locate the e-mail address of the person who originated the query in the heap of outgoing...
Sorry to interrupt the Catesby festivities, but I've come across a historical anomaly and I'm hoping that someone can help out. It is said that after Richard...
... See Christine Weightmann, Margaret of York. Margaret was beloved of her step-daughter Mary of Burgundy and her son in law, the Emperor Maxmillian. -- Laura...
Hi Nate/Laura <Sorry to interrupt the Catesby festivities,> Not at all...I'm glad of the opportunity to stop wondering about old Wm's non-knighthood <g>. ...

Hi Charlie, Nate & All <Malines and "in her last few years" Binche. pg 190 in the Weightman.> Many thanks for the above ref. And Malines is also mentioned...
... Yes, it seems that the two are the same place. Northern Belgium in the Antwerp province. Or Mechlin, I've seen it printed. Now I'll haveto find that...
Nate Margaret of Burgundy was indeed Dowager Duchess of Burgundy after her husband's death. Her stepdaughter, Mary, married Archduke Maximilian of Austria,...
Curioser and curioser! And, correct me if I'm very wrong, it was this same mad Juana that old, widowed Henry Tudor was promised to in his dotage. Or so I've ...
I believe R3's sister Elizabeth was still living after Bosworth, Nate, but I'm not sure about her husband, but now I think about it, and without checking, I...

Sorry, Laura. Rose Maidens sounded to me very much like the Flower Maidens in Parsifal. Traviata is actually unlike most of Verdi's operas in that it's quite ...
Nate I don't know anything much about the Duke of Suffolk, but that is as much as anything because he is not recorded as doing anything significant, apart, of...
More digging later, Nate, and I see in the bios in Sutton/Hammond's book on R3's Coronation that John de la Pole, Duke of Suffolkdied 1491/2, buried at...
Wow! Thank you, Lorraine. I just had no idea what the de la Pole parents were up to, especially under the Tudor regime. I'm quite surprised that old Henry...
Nate Henry VII certainly considered marrying Catherine of Aragon himself after both were widowed (in 1502 and 1503 respectively). I'll see what S.B. Chrimes...
Hi Nate Yes, it is rather fascinating what accomodations these people came to. Lincoln even spent some time at H7's Court as a member of the Council, which...
Dear Ann, Actually, I'm a theater/opera director and I was involved in three separate productions of Richard III in and post-college. After seeing a blond,...
Nate Not self-indulgent at all. I agree with you entirely that Henry Tudor was a thoroughly calculating individual, and, no, I can't imagine him becoming ...
In a message dated 2/10/2003 2:27:29 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... I think Henry VII considered marrying her after Elizabeth of York died. He was trying to...
