English history – and their Celtic (Britain) precursors – is a weird and wonderful beast. After-all, before the Christians arrived – we possessed Wizards and Witches (indeed, our modern Midwives derive from the Witchcraft of helping pregnant and women in labour). Later, following the persecution of the Celts, Christian Nuns were given the task of delivering Celtic babies and immediately “Christening” these children out of their indigenous spiritual identity. I mention this as large swathes of the UK retain a very strong Celtic identity. This include Cornwall – one of the places that Perkin Warbeck landed with a small army that was immediately joined by the uprising Cornish people. The Cornish had risen-up earlier in 1497 against Henry VVII’s plans to go to war with Scotland – why should Celts fight Celts? Although the Tudors were from Wales (a Celtic country) – I believe they may be the descendants of the Roman officials that used to govern the area. Despite this, the Tudors tended to side with the English (Germanic) power-base. Whatever the case, I think the man we are told is “Perkin Warbeck” was in fact “Richard Plantagenet” or “King Richard IV” of England – the rightful King. The above documentary dramatizes the recorded interviews held between the English Authorities and “Perkin Warbeck”. He was crowned “King Richard IV” on Bodmin Moor and he then led an army that took Exeter – and then moved on to Taunton – where he was defeated and arrested. Following intense torture – this man was forced to deny his royal birth. He was then hanged like a common criminal at Tyburn.
