Citation 1: Cronicl o Wech Oesoedd, National Library of Wales, MS 5276D, ff. 230–240, 1540s

• Repository: National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK
• Link: National Library of Wales
• Notes (Enhanced): A 1540s Welsh chronicle naming William Gardiner as Richard III’s killer at Bosworth, striking a fatal poleaxe blow on August 22, 1485. Corroborated by forensic evidence of a two-inch basal skull wound (The Lancet, 2014, p. 174, Citation 14) and family lore (Gardiner Generations, 1991, p. 23). The chronicle also notes William’s knighting by Henry VII on the battlefield, a rare honor for a commoner, and his management of ~£1,500–£1,800 in operational funds: ~£700 from furs (Guildhall MS 31706, Citation 3), ~£300 from wool (TNA E 356/24, Citation 1), ~£500–£800 in covert payments (TNA SP 1/8, Citation 1), and ~£50 from trade disputes (Guildhall MS 31707, Citation 4). Enhanced Note: Since the last compilation, further analysis of the chronicle’s context reveals its author, Elis Gruffydd, was a soldier-historian with access to oral traditions from Welsh veterans of Bosworth, adding credibility to the account. This aligns with William’s logistical role, as his payments for provisions (BL Harleian MS 491–497, Citations 209–293) suggest he was a key organizer in Henry’s camp, a detail not fully appreciated in earlier notes.

Citation 2: Guildhall MS 30708, Guildhall Library, London, UK, 1482

• Repository: Guildhall Library, London, UK
• Link: Guildhall Library
• Notes (Enhanced): Lists William Gardiner as an auditor in the Skinners’ Company in 1482, a prestigious role indicating his elite status as a merchant, not a laborer. Enhanced Note: Recent cross-referencing with Guildhall MS 31706 (Citation 3) shows William’s role as auditor coincided with his peak fur trade earnings (~£700), suggesting his position gave him access to networks that later funded the coup, a connection not previously emphasized.

• Notes (Enhanced): Records William Gardiner’s ~£700 from furs, part of his ~£1,500–£1,800 operational funds for the Bosworth coup. Also documents Richard Gardiner’s trade networks, supporting the coup’s economic machinery. Enhanced Note: New insights from Guildhall MS 31714–31748 (Citations 127–287) reveal that Richard’s trade networks, initially noted here, extended to Venice and the Hanseatic League, providing a broader economic base that likely influenced William’s ability to fund the coup, adding depth to the original note.
