TPE

Hello my dearest Reader,

Perhaps you'll think this website is strange but I admit I have to give you some clou.

I created this for my TPE (Travaux Pratique Encadré). And it is part of an exam called "Bac", in France. We have to choose a subjet, find a question and try to resolve it.

I chose: "What was Shakespeare's influence with his playwright "The Tragedy of King Richard the Third" over the collective imaginary and our contemporary authors?"

I discovered King Richard III and his story with the series The White Queen and I acknowledge I've always thought Middle-Age was borring, annoying but absolutely not !

I am French and I am not the best in english even if I do my best. I know there's several mistakes and I am sorry for that.

Moreover, you have to know this website isn't real. I mean, I created it for an exam, for fun but the informations are true, I hope. I just let my imagination wrote what people as Queen Elizabeth Wydville (Woodville for us) could say, thought, as this time.

You just have to appreciate and enjoy the moment.

Best regards,
Anaëlle.

A Lancastrian Queen on the throne!


26th May 1465


Elizabeth's dress during her coronation

ஜ۩۞۩ஜ

          This is official, any other women will be the next Queen of England but Elizabeth Wydville, the wonderful woman with gorgeous blond hair. And she is just 28 years old!

          She has been crowned at Westminster Abbey as Queen of England, and the abbey was full of Yorkist Soldiers.

          All her familly was present as Jacquetta of Luxembourg, Countess of Rivers, her husband, Earl of Rivers, Richard Wydville, and her sisters and brothers as Anthony Wydville.

          Her beauty caught the attention of everyone and the whispers of jealousy current all of the coronation. She looked majestic on her seat with the crown on her pretty head. She gave us a little smile and among the crowd there were the Dukes of Clarence and Gloucester, the Earl of Warwick and his wife and daughters, Anne and Isabel Neville. All of the greatest nobility were here!

Have you seen the Queen of England, the woman who is called "the most beautiful woman in the Island of Britain" with "heavy-lidded eyes like those of a dragon".

Gregory; 45 ; Loyal man from the House of Lancaster

          How could I be happy? She is not a Lancastrian Queen. She is a traitor who betrayed us of marrying this impostor! She is attracted just by the power, and she will fall as all of the women who've done this.

Good to see you, Gregory, I remind that after your declaration of the hasty coronation of Edward IV on 4 March 1461, you've been imprisoned during one month. But I am not sure you will keep your head where she is, the king is actually in love with his Queen. Pay attention of what you say.

Anne Wydville; 27 ; Lady-in-waiting

          My sister Elizabeth, the Queen Consort of England, was the most beautiful women in the abbey. She wore a pretty coat with ermine and the crown suits her perfectly. I guess, this was the wishes of God, she was made to be queen.

If this was the wishes of God, the we've nothing to say. I hope you will serve perfectly your beloved sister.

George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence is dead


19th February 1478

ஜ۩۞۩ஜ


          We have learned the George, the Royal Duke of Clarence has been executed on 18 February in the Tower of London. The Duke was jailed in the tower after his several treasons and his disloyalty towards our beloved King Edward IV. He was obsessed by the power, the money and his wicked whispers against the legitimacy of Edward IV have had his own life.

          We remind that he married Isabel Neville on July 1469 by interest and he orgenised a rebellion against his own brother the king with his father-in-law, the Earl of Wawrick. He put back on the throne the last King Henry VI and his French Queen on 30 October 1470 and he realised that all efforts which were done were for the Warwick's own interests. They were vain and he turned his coat.

          After the defeat of the Lancastrian Army and the death on the battle field of Tewkesbury of Warwick, he returned to the court, the king forgiving him. Despite the forgive of King Edward IV, George had never change his behavior. However, he was avid of the Neville's fortune and found in his broother Richard a rival. Indeed, Richard of Gloucester married Anne Neville, the youngest Warwick daughter in 1472, but he didn't  inherit the entire Warwick estate.

        Isabel Neville died on 22 December 1476 after giving birth to Richard, two months ago. Clarence accused one of her Ladies-in-waiting of killing the Duchess of Clarence and executed her. Their surviving two children, Margaret and Edward who will be cared by Anne Neville, their aunt, after their father's death.

         Clarence's mental state was questioned because of conspiring and ploting against our Majesty. Our Grace severly upbraided him and ordered his immediate confinement in the Tower of London by accusing him of treason George, Duke of Clarence was imprisoned and a trial of treason against his brother Edward IV began. Trying in vain to find evidence because of love which could clear him, the king heard the verdict as "Guilty", convicting George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence to the death sentence. He has been also "privately executed" yesterday, rumours pretending ha has been drowed in a butt of Malmsey wine, the Queen's favorite...

            Thus, the Three Sons of York is an achieved age. Are they destined to destroy the other?
