Just reposting this Richard III Society memorial for Margaret of Burgundy because it's in Mechelen (not Bruges). That's what comes of waiting til I get home from holiday before sharing these images. Mechelen is, by the way, beautiful and much less busy than Bruges!

Not many of the house of York's homes look in such good condition (I suspect it looks less medieval inside). This is Margaret duchess of Burgundy's home in Mechelen.

Discovered that my Tudor Century book costs 70p plus postage these days - 400 pages crammed with sources and quotations from historians, diagrams etc . Pub in 1993 but lots of that must still be useful for A level amazon.co.uk/Tudor-Century-…
