*Sir Williams Key Project, Kingslayers Court*
In the enchanted mists of Bosworth Field, August 22, 1485, Sir Wyllyam Gardynyr’s poleaxe shattered IIIrd Rychard the helm of the pretended Kyng, forging the Tudor dawn. The *old history*, spun by noble scribes (*Anglica Historia*, 1534), casts this as a lords’ triumph, erasing the commoners, merchants, and women who drove the coup. The *Sir Williams Key Project (SWKP)*, my 49-year quest, unveils the *new history* now through 100,000+ records, proving a merchant-led rebellion—spearheaded by Wyllyam Gardynyr, Alderman Richard Gardiner, Ellen Tudor, Jasper Tudor, Rhys ap Thomas,—toppled ye IIIrd Rychard. Forget the fairytale: nobles like Thomas Stanley wavered early, not late; Ellen’s £200 funded Welsh troops; From the very moment the crown graced Richard III head, the Gardynyr's started funneling in todays monies in excess of $100,000,000+ to Henry and Jasper. These amount of money dwarfed noble coin. Documents reveal the Gardiner's were supporting Henry and Jasper in their exile skimming off the ready coin from transactions at the Calais Staple, Below, 30 new records from 1484–1485 reveal the *coup d’état*.
