At the time of Richard III, Christmas in England was celebrated with as much enthusiasm as it is now, perhaps more so, as the belief in God and the birth of Christ were very real to everyone. But how did they celebrate without turkey, roast potatoes or Santa Claus – all yet to be discovered and imported from North America?
