However, some historians believe he made never have actually been officially executed since it was done in private.

He returned to England with his wife, Isabel Neville after Edward IV reclaimed the throne in 1471.


However, George’s mental state was never quite perfect. Isabel has helped to keep her husband somewhat calm and collected, but then she died presumably of consumption or childbed fever on December 22, 1476. George believed that it was because of witchcraft and blamed one of Isabel’s ladies for this. The lady was executed without a proper trial, angering Edward IV.

The Duke of Clarence didn’t stop there! He then went on another attempt to take the throne away from his brother. He tried in vain to get people to believe that Edward IV was the illegitimate son of Cecily Neville and a soldier, not the son of the Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York. However, Edward had more people on his side and George was arrested.

There were so many opportunities for Edward to arrest his brother in the past, but it’s clear he really wanted to try to save him. George gave the king no choice but to try him as a traitor, and the court found in Edward’s favor. George was convicted and sentenced to death.

The Truth Behind Drowning in Malmsey Wine
Instead of a straight execution, George was apparently given the choice of his execution. He chose to be executed in a barrel of malmsey wine. At least, that’s what the legend states. There are some historians who believe this could be accurate due to a portrait of his eldest child, Margaret Pole. She is seen with a barrel charm, indicating the way her father died.

A barrel would have been big enough to drown a man. However, the fumes that would come off it would also have been enough to knock a grown man out before even getting there to drown him!

However, there are speculations about how this rumor started. The first is that it was a private execution. Most traitors would be executed in public, but Edward chose a private setting for his brother. Was this out of respect for the brother George once was or more out of respect for his mother, who would not want to see this? We will never know.

We do know that George was a liking for malmsey wine and was often considered a drunk. It is possible that the execution method was fabricated based on this. There is also a legend of his body being placed in a barrel of the wine to be sent to Tewksbury Abbey for burial. This does not seem as strange when you consider that Horatio Nelson was sent home in a barrel of brandy!

The rumor gained ground after William Shakespeare used it in his play Richard III. At the start, George is drowned in the wine and that causes Edward IV to suffer guilt for the rest of his years. The ghost of the Duke of Clarence then appears to Richard III and then Henry VII just before the Battle of Bosworth. George wants Henry to win and ascend to the throne.

A haunted night at Stanley Hotel's Room 217

A haunted night at Stanley Hotel's Room 217 In March of 2017, I took a history and ghost tour at the Stanley Hotel. While I did not see or interact with any spirits, I felt intense energy in many areas of the hotel. I also caught some images of orbs with my cell phone. Despite the orbs and intense energy, I left the hotel a skeptic. However, I wanted to come back and stay the night so I could experience more ghost activity. Perhaps the activity would be enough to convince me that ghosts truly do exist.

How To Fix A Broken Relationship

Hurt is inevitable in significant relationships. Yet pain and strife do not have to mean a relationship is going to end. Many couples find that working through trouble actually makes their relationship even stronger. What they realize is that all relationship require work, love, and patience to succeed, and this is especially true when trying to mend a broken relationship. 1. Determine if the other person wants to fix the relationship. There is no sense in trying to fix something if you are the only one willing to do the work. If your partner is unapologetic for mistakes, dismissive of your desire to talk, or continues hurtful behavior, it might be time to move on. It takes two people to mend a broken relationship. If you are the only one trying to save things then you will never succeed. 2. Determine why the relationship is in trouble. All relationships go through rough patches at one point or another. As the novelty of your first few months together wears off, problem...

THE 48 LAWS OF POWER by Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

THE 48 LAWS OF POWER by Robert Greene and Joost Elffer. Laws of Power. The 48 laws of power: Never outshine the master. Always make those in positions of authority over you feel comfortable about their place of superiority. Even though you may want to impress them and prove your value to them, if you overdo it with displays of your talent you run the risk of causing them to feel threatened and insecure. Try to make your superiors appear more brilliant than they are in order to maximize your power standing. Never put too much trust in friends, learn how to use enemies. Friends can easily be prone to envy, so be wary of them and their capacity for betrayal. “But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove,” In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.” Conceal your intentions. Never reveal the explicit purpose behind your actions. This will throw potential a...

Everest climber returns to mountain to bury woman he was forced to abandon 9 years ago

Everest climber returns to mountain to bury woman he was forced to abandon 9 years ago In 2007, Ian Woodall, a British climber, returned to Everest to bury the bodies of three climbers he passed on his way to the summit. One of the climbers, a woman named Francys Arsentiev, was still alive when Woodall reached her during his initial ascent. Her first words to him were"don't leave me behind." The grim reality, though, is that Woodall could not have done anything for her without jeopardizing his own life or the lives of his team members. He was forced to leave her to perish alone. Climbing Mount Everest has become much safer over the past decade thanks to advances in technology and climbing gear. Satellite phones allow a climber to stay in contact with base camp to get constant updates on weather systems in the area. A better understanding of exactly what kind and how much gear to take has also caused the death toll to drop dramatically. She was alone on a mountain shelf wh...
