Edward IV

King twice, never lost in battle, absolute legend and beautiful man (no dingy blue gowns in sight).

@WinterKyng You make a fair point, I was just going with how she is often known now, operating her part in the wars from Burgundy.

[Edward IV @KingEdward_IV]

@WinterKyng Well she was the wife of the King of Burgundy and that is the name used be scholars in the time now, but apologies for not being clear

[Edward IV @KingEdward_IV]

@WinterKyng Should have gone to Specsavers or just school I guess (re. my other reply)

[Edward IV @KingEdward_IV]

@WinterKyng Nope, I meant Margaret ‘of Burgundy’, my sister, born 1446, who plotted against you through Perkin Warbeck, carrying on the remnants of the Yorkist cause, which you put down ending fully the conflicts. Interesting you didn’t know that...

Poll coming tomorrow on the most influential women of the Wars of the Roses. Make sure to do your research, you can’t have Henry VI do well in this one, as you’ve done before.

Usually I’d put a historical outlook on something I tweet, but not here. This is the attitude I wish people had now. This should not be a debate. This should just be a fight against systemic racist problems and lead to a fair world, where we help others no matter of who they are.

"If the other three police officers who were standing around when George Floyd was murdered had thought about intervening like what we did, George Floyd would be alive today."

Patrick Hutchinson, who was pictured carrying a protestor to safety at violent demo says what happened.

[Edward IV @KingEdward_IV]

Never thought I’d agree with a King Henry that wasn’t King Henry V...

[Henry Tudor @KngHnryVIII]

Dear everyone who’s suddenly interested in history,
This is a brief phase for most of you but perhaps a few of you will realise your modern era is wholly shaped by people & events from the past & maybe you’ll also realise that people who love history are the sexiest people alive.

[Edward IV @KingEdward_IV]

@KngHnryVIII @richard_third Shocking that neither @richard_third, nor Henry VI are on there!

[Edward IV @KingEdward_IV]

So it turns out that Clarence wasn’t supporting Warwick at Edgecote but was just there having gone on a horse ride to test his eyesight. Nor could he have been making a deal with Warwick and Margaret of Anjou as he was at a pub in Woking Sri king mead (so he tells me).
