Dacre hinted that Albany – cast in the role of Richard III — was responsible. Margaret, even in her vulnerable state, refused to accept this, saying that if he really aimed at securing the throne for himself the death of James would have suited his purpose better.

So too does that of the American Minimalist artist Carl André, beginning from about 1958 and in parallel with his changing artistic procedures.
