The Society of Friends of King Richard III
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Society of Friends of King Richard III is a Society which was created in 1978 to exonerate and promote the life and memory of Richard III, King of England (1452-1485, reigned 1483-1485). The Society is based in York, Richard's own beloved city, and is run exclusively by his own faithful northern people. The membership numbers some 50 people and the Society meets the first Saturday of every month at Jacob's Well, an old building in ancient medieval York. Anyone is welcome to attend and/or join the Society. The Society organises trips to places of Ricardian interest, lectures, medieval feasts and raises funds for a range of Ricardian purposes. In addition they have a considerable database of books and documentary material. The Society also issues a free quarterly bulletin to every member.
