Hard to see Perkin Warbeck lasting another week or thick as a brick Ted earl of Warwick for that matter. But here’s a picture of our favourite Italian John Cabot finding Canadia for us. Our fishermen will be very pleased.

Pirates are disrupting trade but don’t panic Henry will get the Royal Navy on the case. Happy Chuck of France wants to try his luck belting up Italy. But our big problem is that bloody Perkin Warbeck wandering around calling himself Richard Plantagenet. He wants to be king Richard 4 and we ain’t having that.

Mixed bag this week. Toothless mighty hero Sir Ted Woodville will be going down when the Frenchies massacre our brave English boys. Sadly for us, that means Happy Chuck can marry Duchess Anne of Brittany and take Brittany making France great again. Henry will find out just how much we all love paying tax so it will be rebellion. Here’s a picture from a Frenchie waxworks museum of Happy Chuck marrying Anne of Brittany.

Here’s the marvellous Queen Betty who knocked out an heir in record time. That will be Arthur on the left and there’s dear little Margaret with her. And who is that rapskallion on the right? Oh it’s darling little Henry.

Henry will make a great start with a smooth take over operation. But there are some people who just can’t let the war thing go and want to keep this wars of the roses thing going. On the bright side, we will be getting an heir to the big chair in world record time. Here’s a picture of the happy couple. Must say that queen Betty looks a bit like a serial killer to me.

It’s on. Henry Tudor with Uncle Jasper will finally make their move and invade England. Richard 3 has a very good track record in the battle stuff but it may all come down to which side the Stanley’s will pick.

Henry and Jasper are happily being political pawns over in Brittany while Richard is looking to get Queen Betty and girls out of sanctuary. But then in come the Tudors. Here’s a rather dashing Richard with no sign of a hunchback and his missus Anne Neville in The White Queen TV series.

Richard’s turn for the silly hat and people will die. Here’s a picture of Richard and Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckinham in happier times. That is before Richard pops his head off.

Richard will find himself under pressure. He’s in a bit of a dicky position and will have to act. Queen Betty is convinced to give up her youngest son Richard to the care of Uncle Richard. That gets us both princes into the Tower. Richard will decide that it is his bum that should go on the big chair.

Margeret Beaufort will get married again. That’s nice. The Woodville family will be making power plays and Richard may be in a bit of trouble. But the big news is we have a brand new king. Sort of. Bishop of Bath and Wells though be tossing a hand grenade into the whole succession plans. We shall have an attempt to make sense of the law. Yes – I know – fools errand.
