"the Londoners disliked and mistrusted Richard and his Northern coterie,"

One of that coterie has his tomb in Flamborough church, on the East Yorkshire coast. This was Sir Marmaduke Constable who fought with Richard at Bosworth. Know as Little Sir Marmaduke because of his stature, he was a formidable soldier who had previously fought with King Edward in France and later, having been pardoned by Henry, fought at the seige of Berwick and, at the incredible age of 70, led the left flank of the English army at Flodden, personally dispatching many Scots. Strangest of all, though, is the manner of his death - he reputedly died after swallowing a live toad which ate his heart.

I've written a song beased on the epitaph on his tomb, which we how include in our repertoire.
