Today's #YearOfHours #BookOfHours is Ms. Codex 1063, produced in England, probably London, perhaps for a member of a religious confraternity or community. The musical notation in the Office of the Dead is unusual, as is the absence of the prayers Obsecro te and O intemerata.

"In the medieval imagination there was a constant tension between the idea of women’s changeable, corrupting, Eve-like influence in the world; the sense of their childlike inability to govern themselves or to be responsible for their behaviour; and the ideal of the vulnerable lady and mother who might intercede, Madonna-like, to create peace."

-J.L. Laynesmith, "Cecily Duchess of York"

If you dare to think that I have developed some kind of obsession with little Elizabeth of York, I must tell you...

P.S. My mom told me she looks like a historical Tinkerbell and now I can't stop thinking about it lol

Source: Armour of the English Knight 1400-1450 An illustration of the lancegay. Lighter than a standard heavy cavalry lance, it would be pointed at both sides and could be used for both mounted and dismounted combat. It was favoured by the English for the rarity of their cavalry charges.

Is Richard iii a hypocrite for decrying his brother’s “lack of virtue” and hailing his own virtues when he at the time of his brothers death had at least two illegitimate children? Or did it not count because of the patriarchal norms for men that richard had more of a virtue for the time than Edward and his court had?

Well, first of all, it isn't an either/or binary. Neither of these men was a saint, and neither was Satan. So let's start there.

Based on what we can glean from the available records, Richard of Gloucester had two illegitimate children, both of whom were in their mid-to-late teens when he died in August 1485. That means both of them were likely born no later than 1470, since that was the year Edward IV was kicked out of England, and Richard accompanied him to Burgundy. It's possible that the younger of those children could have been born as late as 1471, but even that is pushing it a little.

In any event, Richard was, at the time, an unmarried man. We don't know the exact date of his marriage to Lady Anne Neville, the extremely wealthy co-heiress of the late Richard Neville, earl of Warwick, but scholars have generally agreed that they married at some point between spring 1471 and late 1472 based on the date of their son's birth. As far as we can see, there are no indications that Richard fathered any illegitimate children while he was married.

That is definitely not the case with Edward IV. Alongside his ten legitimate children with Elizabeth Woodville, we find records of at least three illegitimate children. Elizabeth, who became Lady Lumley; Arthur, who became Viscount Lisle; and Grace, whose only appearance in the historical record is as one of the few attendees of Elizabeth Woodville's funeral i 1492. This is in addition to the many, many rumors, speculations, and reports of his frequent womanizing. It was not a secret that Edward IV liked the horizontal tango. A lot.

Which is all to say that when Richard brought up Edward's philandering ways, it wasn't a charge that was going to surprise anyone, and I don't really think it had much, if any, bearing on the success of his usurpation. He had greater success playing on the fears of an unknown teenaged monarch after half a century of civil war, and on the story of Edward IV's alleged pre-contract with Lady Eleanor Butler that invalidated his marriage to Elizabeth and de-legitimized all their children. The rumors regarding Edward's dissolute lifestyle were incidental to the larger point.
