8 June 1492 Death of Elizabeth Woodville, widow of Edward IV, mother to Elizabeth of York, grandmother to Henry VIII. Elizabeth survived a great deal. She outlived Richard III by 7 years & never publicly accused him of murdering her sons, the Princes in the Tower. I wonder why.

Il serait mort le 8 juillet 1943. À Metz. Dans le train le déportant en Allemagne. Le corps défiguré gênait en tout cas assez l'ennemi pour qu'il le fasse aussitôt incinérer à Paris. L'homme qui savait tout ne leur avait rien dit. Libre jusqu'au bout. Jean Moulin. 44 ans.
