[MR] BBC: Model of Richard III's Blue Boar Inn

[Groff, Garth (ggg9y)]

Noble Friends,

The BBC is featuring a story about creation of a model of the Blue Boar Inn, the tavern where Richard III stayed before the Battle of Bosworth: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-20759799 . The story features a photo of the model, which can tell us some interesting things about English public houses in the 15th century.

For more research on Richard III, go to the University of Leicester site (http://www.le.ac.uk/ ) and enter "Blue Boar Inn" in the search box, or click on the links under the changing photo on their home page.

Yours Aye,

Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
