Should you not yet subscribe to the ‘Lives of the Week’ by the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, today is a good day to do so.  Today’s ‘Life’ is that of Richard, duke of York, the father of Edward IV and Richard III.

If you subscribe to the ‘Lives of the Day’ you will receive each day one of the biographies of the ODNB by email free of charge.  So even if you don’t have regular access to the ODNB through your library or similar institution, you can read some of their valuable resources.
