‘The Pretender' Review: The Boy Who Would Be King
Set at the end of the Wars of the Roses, the long dynastic struggle between the English royal houses of York and Lancaster, Jo Harkin's exuberant historical novel 'The Pretender' brings to life one of the stranger footnotes in late-medieval history. In 1487 Henry VII's right to the crown as a distant Lancastrian descendant through the female line was challenged by a boy only 10 or so years old, whom his supporters claimed to be the rightful Earl of Warwick, nephew of Richard III and a direct Plantagenet heir. The Tudor historian Polydore Vergil in his 'Anglica Historia' (1555) named this pretender Lambert Simnel, a base-born lad 'not entirely of bad character.' The episode ended in victory for Henry later that year at the Battle of Stoke Field. Vergil records that Simnel was pardoned for his role in the attempted takeover and was put to work in Henry's kitchen as a spit-turner, while the Tudors went on to rule England for the next century. The rest, you might say, is history. Or is it? Ms. Harkin takes this incident as the starting point for a rollicking story that's part fact, part lively speculation, and along the way asks some probing questions about the nature of identity. On an Oxfordshire farm, a peasant boy called John Collan is growing up with no battles to fight other than those with the farm goat, until a mysterious nobleman arrives bearing astonishing news: John isn't the farmer's son at all but Edward, the young Earl of Warwick, who as a baby was concealed among simple country folk for his own safety. Now he is to be brought out of hiding as the last Yorkist hope.

Arise, Sir David Beckham: The Soccer Star Will Be Knighted
It was perhaps the biggest moment of David Beckham's decorated soccer career. England needed to score against Greece in 2001 to qualify for the World Cup, and he stood over a free kick with little time left. He duly bent the ball into the net, setting off paroxysms of joy throughout England. The announcer Gary Bloom spoke for the nation when he shouted, 'Give that man a knighthood!' It took 24 years, but now he's getting one. How do you get a knighthood? In the modern age, knighthoods are conferred by the British royal family upon citizens who have achieved great success in their fields and served their country in one way or another. 'Recipients range from actors to scientists, and from school head teachers to industrialists,' the royal family's website says. It might now add 'impossibly handsome and famous ex-football stars.' Those conferred with a knighthood get the title 'sir.' Let's hear the credentials of Beckham, er, Sir David. Mr. Beckham, 50, was a brilliant soccer player, most memorably for Manchester United and England's national team. His famous right foot had the uncanny ability to curl balls through the air and into the net, inspiring the title of the 2002 film 'Bend it Like Beckham.' His post-football career has included co-ownership of Inter Miami, the Major League Soccer team. He has been a UNICEF ambassador, and his charisma helped London secure hosting duties for the 2012 Summer Olympics. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
