Well, I don't know where you are, or where you're applying too, but in much of western Europe you'll be lucky to see hide nor hair of a reseacher in situ, as it were duruing Juky / Aug- holidays and reserach trips count that out!

Well, chapter actually- does anyone have access to

Pollard, A.J., "The north of England in the age of Richard III"(Stroud 1996)? I was after the chapter 'The Crown and the County Palatine of Durham, 1437-94', pp. 67-87. OCLC 906715275.

Thank you bewildered: I think that as far as the original post is concerned, that, as they say, is that.

Thanks also for the reminder about dcscience though- it's great reading even for (or perhaps, especially for) non-science types.
