We will be holding a one-day cultural event on Saturday 8 March, consisting of a series of short talks led by experts from within History at Southampton.
This thought provoking and inspiring conference will provide you with the opportunity to learn and engage in discussion about Richard III from academics of international distinction.
Richard reigned for a little over two years (July 1483 – August 1485) and yet he is probably one of our most notorious, enigmatic kings. From loyal brother to ‘bunch backed toad’ to ‘the King in the car park’, can we really know the real Richard?
The study day will look at Richard from the Shakespearean perspective, the rebellions of his reign, which culminated in the battle of Bosworth, his relationship with the Woodvilles and the significance of the finds at Leicester in 2012. History, literature and medicine will come together in an attempt to uncover the man behind the myth. Questions will be welcomed at the end of each talk and time will be given to discuss the outcomes further at the end of the day.
