Bringing you the latest important news and events about Richard III.

Dear Members,

As some of you will be aware, John Ashdown-Hill's health has deteriorated in recent months. We have now been given permission by John to advise members of the present situation. We do so in order that you may understand why John is now unable to accept bookings for talks. However, John is still working on books and articles. Also, following his recent talk at Middleham, in which he added much more text to his Powerpoint slides, John is hoping to post updated versions of some of his talks on his website, so that, if they wish, Branches and Groups could access that material for a presentation which would not require John himself to come and speak.

John has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND). In his case this makes speaking and eating difficult, and John is losing weight. The Society will offer John what support it can, at the same time sending him its best wishes and positive thoughts. Clearly, we cannot ask for a recovery, but we can hope that the remainder of John's time will be comfortable and free of pain.

If you do send John messages of support, please do so in the understanding that you may, or may not, receive a response. We can be sure though that John will appreciate knowing that the Society wishes him well.

Absolutely! JA-H has made a contribution to the legacy and spirit of Richard III which is equaled only by Philippa Langleyýs, in my view. And each was dependent on the contributions of the other. Would Philippaýs quest have gone ahead without the groundbreaking work in the genealogical/genetic field done by JA-H? I donýt know the answer to that. But his work certainly made the ultimate result that much more fruitful, as without the DNA links, scholars would probably still be saying, ýWell, we think those are probably Richardýs remains, but weýre not 100% sure.ý

I was dismayed to read the bulletin from the society. My thoughts and prayers are with him in the hope that he may be made as comfortable as possible and be able to continue as many of his favoured activities as possible.

Truly saddened by this news. I have all his books and enjoyed his talk about what was then his latest book The Dublin King at The Society of Antiquaries.

I admire Philippa Langley and John Ashdowne -Hill so much. They have independently and together changed our historical knowledge of Richard 111's physique at least. We will have to be content with that I think.
