Here are some of my photos from around and about.
Or here are some photos from Ren Faires I have known.

Would you like to hear a bit about the Wars? Click here for a Real Audio Slideshow. Spacing issues kept me from doing exactly what I wanted, but you want a very basic overview with a seriously bad recording of me (but with some pretty cool pictures), check it out.

Here are my awards. Yay! :-)

Are you looking for some Wars of the Roses books? Check here for some of my recommendations and how to get them.

The Wars of the Roses Pages...

• Richard III Society Homepage-An extremely useful resource with many on-line Wars of the Roses Documents (with an obvious focus, of course)
• Richard III Society (British)- The parent organization for all these Richard III society branches. Like the others, there are a good quantity of links and information. Well worth the visit.
• Richard III Foundation- When I first wrote a description for them, I remarked that while their information was interesting, it was limited. Well I'm happy to say that they have more than responded to that point. Their site now includes significant information on Richard as well as information on all of the important battles of the Wars. Definitely check out the changes...it's well worth the visit.
• Richard III Society (Victorian Branch)- Here's the Australian branch of the society. Amazingly each of the 4 Richard III Society pages has quite a unique collection of information and not too much that's overlapping.
• Richard III Society (Canadian Branch)-   The Canadian branch is ambitious and growing rapidly. I would recommend checking back frequently.
• Richard III Society (Yorkshire Branch)- This is the latest of the Richard III Society pages.
• Richard III Society (New England Branch)- My word, they're everywhere. *grin*; I haven't had an opportunity to really check this one out yet.
• Laura Blanchard's Homepage- Laura is the Webmaster for the American Branch of R3 society. Her own page includes some additional unique information, though. In particular, I recommend checking the Middleham link and Magdalen College link.
• The Wars of the Roses-This used to be the Unofficial Richard III Page, but he expanded his topic and renamed it. Very nice site.
• RoseWar- This site is based around a postal Wars of the Roses game (if you're lucky with the timing of your visit and from the UK, you just might be able to join). As background to the game, this page includes a good collection of information, including bios of individuals you just don't find anywhere else and the best families chart I've seen on-line.
• The Red Company-An American group of Wars of the Roses reenactors. The site includes some great photos of events. Check it out. :-)
• Wars of the Roses-Allison's Wars of the Roses site. It's a fabulous site which includes info on 15th Century music. Well worth a visit.
• Wars of the Roses- This site is a brief background of the wars for students reading Shakespeare's versions.
• Paul Gurnham's Homepage- Included on this page are some interesting excerpts from Paul's essay concerning Warwick's skills as a military leader. He has some very interesting points and I highly recommend taking a look.
• Medieval Maps of England- Includes a map of England from 1455-1485 with Yorkist and Lancastrian holdings (although considering those holdings seem often to have changed on a daily basis, I'm not too certain of its accuracy. It's close but not necessarily 100%)
• The Battle of Mortimers Cross- A British Heritage article on the battle.
• The Federation of the Wars of the Roses- a page designed to be a bit more all encompassing with the Wars of the Roses reenactors.
• Medieval Reenactments- I just found this page and was met with the shock that they have a lot of links that I've never seen before. This is a group of students in Sheffield that are tied into the Nevilles reenactors. They have a bit of info, some really nice photos, some out of date reenactment times, and as I said before a really nice collection of links (Primarily concerning other reenactment groups).
• Teweksbury Battlefield Society Page- Join the society in saving a piece of British heritage from the land developers. Or just check out the page and learn some more about what exactly is going on.
• Heritage Page- This page has a nice collection of short biographies of the rulers in England as well as some good portraits.
• The Wars of the Roses Interactive Guide- I like this one. It's different.
• Coventry during the Wars of the Roses- I _really_ like this site. Just found it today (7/23/99), and haven't completely looked it over, but the information that I glanced over was quite interesting.
• Wars of the Roses Summary- This one looks like it was probably a school project. It has a collection of links (though I think there's only one that I don't have here).
• Dr. Macro's Richard III page- Dr Macro's page focuses mostly on Shakespeare's Richard III, but it's a well done page and deserved inclusion. It uses a lot of graphics from the recent film.
• Companie of Yeoman Archers- This is an American group of Wars of the Roses reenactors. It's a small site now, but I understand there will be a lot of information being put out there as time allows. Keep checking in. I for one will be eagerly looking into this "Great Western War" :)
• Warwick Castle- This is a great series of 40+ pages about Warwick Castle including their entire Kingmaker exhibit. If you haven't been there and seen that yet, I highly recommend it. Note that on page 5 the picture of the Kingmaker is of a wax figure. Very well done isn't it. Too be expected I guess since it's Madame Tussaud's that owns the castle.
• Wars of the Roses in fiction list- Frankly, this page came as a bit of a shock to me. I simply had no idea that the Wars of the Roses have been used as a backdrop for so many works of fiction.
• Juliana Koh's Richard III Page- The history behind Shakespeare's Richard III.
• Richard III: The Historical debate
• Sir Thomas More's History of Richard III
• The Company Ecorcheur Medieval Society- Wars of the Roses reenactors with an impressive resume and impressive web page. Check them out.
• Warwick the Kingmaker's Page- Danielle and Sean's English class project. Absolutely can't beat their choice in subject matter. :-)
• Tudor England- People have often asked me for more info on the Tudors (the ultimate victors of the Wars of the Roses). At some point I'll probably do just that, but until then Lara Eakins' does far better then I would do anyway. Definitely check out this site.
• Medieval Goodies- A site full of desktop themes and whatnot including a Wars of the Roses theme. It's great (and currently on my system *grin*).
