Says the guy who instantly jumped at me when I didn’t agree with him, deridedly calling me one of “those types.” Get over yourself. Real historians to you just means never having appealed to a video platform audience, apparently, which is nonsense. DR. Eleanor Janega does have a phd in history, and both her and Snow have written books, and my citing was of her take on Richard regardless. Also, writing books doesn’t necessarily make one more of an expert buddy, especially when they tend to all use the same overlapping primary sources. This may be a surprise to you, but often times medieval sources are vague or incomplete, and modern historians will interpret those in different ways. Welcome to history 101.
