@onceuponatimein_history: Richard III's DNA tests revealed someone was illegitimate down the paternal line. So here's a casual series going through all the theories, starting with his grandfather Richard of Conisburgh (I used the modern pronunciation, apologises for confusion), father of Richard Duke of York #richardiii #History #richardii #englishhistory #historyscandals #historytheories #historytok #princesinthetower

Berri777 :

stuff like this is why we should follow the maternal line, before DNA testing you can never be 100% sure!

Ang :

I thought Cecily of York was pretty iffy for her fidelity

MissV :

The family tree is giving me a headache

Amy Burcher :

as someone who went to Lancaster uni the idea that whole York claim was illegitimate is pretty gratifying tbh

🏛 :

could a dna test of john holland or any direct decendend he may have solve this?

w78yn :

History is truly mysterious and secretive. this means that it is likely that the House of York was originally the House of Holland

hg venice :

HMQueenG.E.MOfGenovia :

I mean sometimes ancient men left everything to the first born son so this is no surprise

gsdmum🇬🇧 :

Edmund De Langley is entombed in my village church.

Izzie :

Could you talk about Margaret of Anjou ?

Gillian :

I haven’t heard of this at all. Tall me more! 🍿🥤

tahneekry :

interesting that everyone is assuming its in Richard III linr and not that there was illegitimacy in the much longer line of the modern DNA.

janey a c :

can see history repeating today 😁

Julie’s :

I think this is true that Isabella of Castile had a son by John Holland. Which makes RIII not an actual Plantagenet, correct?

jardon819 :

mon dieu...oh meine gott..omg😂😂 but werent the princes in the tower declared illegitmate & house of beaufort too..lol

Josh Mugridge :

Edward the 4th was illegitimate due to his father being away in France at the time he was meant to be conceived
