Thread Name: Lyr:Life and Death of the Great Duke of Buckingham
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Miserable End of Banister (1612 Ver)

Richard III died, as I remember correctly, in 1488. Why the interest in his reign in 1612? Did it have something to do with the rise of George Villiers, the Duke of Buckingham in James I's court?
