I'm sure almost every Purple fan wondered about Blackmore's strange fascination with castles, knights and medievalism overall. RITCHIE WHY??? Why disgracing the legend parading around in ridiculous tights?
Now we finally know the answer!! (very likely)
I almost accidentally made a discovery that our Black Knight is a direct descendant of British royals such as William the Conqueror and Henry Beauclerc.
In fact, that means we can name Richard the Lionheart Ritchie's distant uncle๐ฅ๐
๐ฅHere you got here the whole lineage of Ritchie down to Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire. Of course you can check it on many genealogical websites:๐ฅ
(Keep in mind that there are only 7 female ancestors! (in the old days that mattered))

I was dazed and confused when I found out the truth about Ritchie, but maybe his odd interests and character come from this๐
Also don't forget that name 'Richard' means 'strong in rule' ๐

@lil-melody-moon here you go with mr. Moon! I decided to add more detail to his features more than adding coloursโบ๏ธ
I did listen to your recommendations about the who and hey... I actually like them very much :) Keith's drumming really adds the right atmosphere that the pieces need, he has lots of different styles of drumming (from slow/soft to quick/energetic) + fills everywhere and hes the type of guy who "paid for all his kit, must play all of his kit" XD
