Artist picture
I am a singer songwriter based in Torquay and I record my songs as the Legendary Ten Seconds.
The Legendary Ten Seconds started off as the solo music project of Ian Churchward during the time when he was the lead guitar player of The Morrisons who were featured on John Peel's radio one show back in 1987. In 2013 Lord Zarquon joined Ian's music project and since then various guest musicians and vocalists have helped out in the recording studio. The most recent musician to join the project is Jay Brown who has helped to compose and record a song called the Time Stream. The Legendary Ten Seconds have recorded many critically acclaimed English folk rock albums which chronicle the Wars of the Roses and the life and times of Richard III in England during the late 15th century. The albums are available on Amazon and itunes and the band have donated money to a scoliosis charity from some of the income generated from the sale of their music.

Story behind the song
Recorded in Torbay, South Devon. It is included on the Ricardian Argosy album as an alternative version of the same song which is on the Astounding Songs album.
Lyrics
His body lying battered now the battle has ended Stripped of his armour that looked so splendid A once proud King in his armour with gold A tale of treachery to be told Thrown over a horse and then carried away Taken to Leicester to be put on display Buried hastily by the Grey Friars Under the tiles of their church choir His remains were not thrown into the Soar That noble King of the white boar That noble King of the white boar That noble King of the white boar
