Britain's Real Monarch
Startling
new facts came to light in research for a Channel 4 programme on Richard
III. The historian Michael K Jones had uncovered what appears to be strong
proof that the 15th-century English monarch Edward IV was, in fact, illegitimate,
thus throwing the legitimacy of all the kings and queens who followed
into question. In fact, it appears that the royal line should have extended,
not through Edward, but through his brother, George, Duke of Clarence,
and his heirs.
