Why the Haste with Hastings?
Join us for another engaging Social Hour, where members can discuss the 1483 execution of Sir William Hastings. Why was he accused of treason? What happened at that fateful council meeting? Was there a proper legal basis to the charge against him? Historians have widely different interpretations and we will delve into them in an open discussion led by our chair, Susan Troxell. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, tea, or other favorite beverage, and let’s explore one of the most controversial events in Richard’s life.
Materials will be distributed in advance to help focus our discussion. This is not a formal lecture, but an opportunity to talk to other members of the American Branch and share your thoughts on Hastings’ demise.
