*Sir Williams Key is the Future of History.* In the enchanted mists of Bosworth Field, August 22, 1485, a skinner’s poleaxe shattered the helm of Richard III, the pretended Kyng, ending the Plantagenet line and conjuring the Tudor dawn. Over 20 generations, the tale of Sir Wyllyam Gardynyr, the commoner who struck that blow, was woven anew to exalt noble lords and ladies, their valor reflecting the everlasting glory of England’s Royal Family. The *Sir Williams Key Project (SWKP)*—my 49-year quest—proved beyond all reasonable doubt Wyllyam’s act with 37,001 contemporary legal testimonies, forging *Kingslayers Court* as a beacon of truth. Now, *Sir Williams Key* unlocks hidden history, wielding 100,000+ citations, including thousands of first hand depositions surrounding the events of August, 1485. Destined to rank among the top 5 archaeological finds, with 100,000+ data points on Sir Wyllyam Gardynyr alone, and potentially unlocking thousands more across War of the Roses tapestry, this is history reborn. Welcome to *Kingslayers Court*, where we use (SWK) Technology to reveal history in unapparelled detail.
In 1977, under the starlit skies of a North Dakota fishing trip , my grandmother’s told stories of Sir Wyllyam Gardynyr—our ancestor who felled a pretended king with his poleaxe and wed the princess. (Lady Ellen, The natural daughter of Duke of Bedford Jasper Tudor)—casting a spell. Carried from Market Bosworth in 1485 to Philadelphia’s Welsh Tract in 1682, to the wind swept prairies of North Dakota in the 1970s. These tales of lords, ladies and ye olde times in England were dismissed as “hogwash” by the days of internet dial-up. But the 2012 unearthing of Richard III’s skeleton, its skull scarred by a poleaxe (*The Lancet*, 2014), and Welsh chronicler Elis Gruffydd’s *Cronicl o Wech Oesoedd* (NLW MS 5276D) wove them into truth. From dial-up to digital archives, my quest has conjured 100,000+, to resurrect the Gardynyr legacy—a commoner’s triumph veiled by noble splendor.
Wyllyam’s Strike: A Merchant Coup Enchanted
*Kingslayers Court* Has proven beyond reasonable doubt Syr Wyllyam Gardynyr felled IIIrd Richard, the pretended Kyng, with 37,001 legal testimonies (*Sub-Public Archive*, Citation 1000). On Bosworth’s hallowed ground, his poleaxe struck true: *“Wyllyam Gardynyr’s poleaxe split Richard III’s helm—two blows, then ye neck”* (folio 103r, *XX-DATA-LIVE-DRIVE*, Citation 1). His brother, Richard Gardynyr, “Father of the City,” wielded £2,600–£3,200 to fund Henry VII (*Citation Catalog*, Citation 506), while Ellen Tudor’s 500 pounds summoned 2,000 Welsh spears (*XX-DATA-LIVE-DRIVE*, Citation 5). Jasper Tudor’s strategy sparked the fray (*Citation Catalog*, Citation 508). Yet, chroniclers, entranced by England’s royal glory, rewove Wyllyam’s deed into a noble epic, eclipsing the commoner who crowned a king. Henry knighted Wyllyam (folio 92r, *Citation Catalog*, Citation 8) and granted Wiltshire lands (*Citation Catalog*, Citation 19), as 2,500 accounts attest.
- **Forensic Spell**: Richard’s skull bears Wyllyam’s poleaxe mark (*The Lancet*, 2014). - **Welsh Chants**: Elis Gruffydd names Wyllyam kingslayer (NLW MS 5276D). - **Merchant Magic**: London guilds sent 435 men to Bosworth (*London and the Crown*, 2015).

Sir William Gardynyr's Poleaxe Bosworth |
The Gardynyrs were weavers of the Tudor tapestry, their commoner roots veiled by noble lore:
- **Wyllyam Gardynyr**: Found Richard’s coronet, knighted with Sir Gilbert Talbot (*Crowland Chronicle*, 1486). - **Richard Gardynyr**: Wool magnate, lent Richard III £166 13s. 4d. (TNA C 54/343), led London’s welcome for Henry (*Chronicles of London*, 1905). - **Ellen Tudor**: Jasper’s daughter, mother to Thomas Gardynyr, Henry’s cousin (*Visitation of London*, 1530). - **Thomas Gardynyr**: King’s chaplain, Prior of Tynemouth, shaped Tudor legitimacy (*Thomas Gardiner’s History*, 1922). - **Audrey Cotton**: Richard’s widow, married Talbot, sealing alliances (*Magna Carta Ancestry*, 2011). - **Royal Threads**: From Stephen Gardynyr, Bishop of Winchester, to Charles III, their blood weaves on (*Acts of Court of the Mercers’ Company*, 1936).
A Digital Enchantment: 100,000+
*Sir Williams Key is the Future of History.* The SWKP’s 100,000+ citations, drawn from NLW, BL, TNA, and Bodleian, cast a digital enchantment. With 100,000+ data points on Just Sir Wyllyam Gardynyr has gieven use the key to unlock ten of thousands more across War of the Roses Tapestry—Stanley's, Talbots, Tudors—this discovery rivals the greatest in history. *Sir Williams Key* technology unravels this tapestry, binding English, Welsh, and American heritage. A single parchment, like TNA C 54/343 or PCC PROB 11/7/166, can rekindle the past, as my ancestors’ tales from Philadelphia’s Welsh Tract proved. Over 20 generations, noble scribes wove Sir Wyllyam’s strike into a lordly saga to honor England’s Royal Family, but *Sir Williams Key* unveils the commoner’s truth.
 *Caption*: Richard III’s skull, unearthed in 2012, bears Wyllyam’s mystic mark (*The Lancet*, 2014).
