Interesting conversation about Richard III super-fans and how they can sometimes be really aggressive.
It seems to me there's an attraction to Richard III which is similar to a kind of medieval conspiracy movement. The idea that you've seen through the Tudor propaganda as a kind of personal enlightenment - and underneath it all there seems to be a strong strain of English nationalism, or maybe more anti-Welsh chauvenism.
