England in the time of Richard III - free course

[Caw1]

Thanks groom for posting this link, even though it was a while ago, I've just signed up for the course in January.

I'm looking forward to learning more about one of our contravershall  characters and the Wars of the Roses.

Read many fictional books, so it will be nice to learn the truth.... as far as one can!

I do hope you enjoy it, I’ve done it twice now.

Remember though it is England in the time of Richard III, so deals with life how it would be then, not just royalty. I found it very interesting and it gives a good insight into life at the time.

Thanks Groom. I'm sure I will find it enjoyable as I am fascinated by the impact that political manoeuvres had on the "common" people. 

Though I am also hoping for hard evidence being shown which might help to illustrate Richard's personality.

I'm looking forward to all aspects of the course.. learning more about 'us commoners' is always helpful for FH... if you can get back that far of course!

I've done FL courses before and found them very enjoyable.. particularly the interaction with other course participants.

Thanks

They are certainly good aren't they, especially as they are free unless you choose to pay to upgrade. I've done about 8 now and enjoyed them all.

It's good that they're repeating the Richard III course. It was interesting and instructive and I can recommend it to anyone with an interest in history.

Unfortunately I've been unable to find anything  with which to follow it.

Have you done the Hadrian's Wall one, Keith, that was the first one I did and I enjoyed that. Another one I enjoyed was "A History of Royal Food and Feasting"

I've also done two WW1 courses the best was : "World War 1:Trauma and Memory" which really opened my eyes.

No, I hadn't noticed the Hadrian's Wall course. I'll go looking for it. I doubt I would get on well with the food course. The only part of Richard III I didn't enjoy was part 5, food of the time. I guess I'm not a gourmet.
