Annette Josephine Carson is a British non-fiction author specialising in history, biography and aviation, with a particular interest in King Richard III.

Carson was a booking agent during Jeff Beck’s rise to fame with the Yardbirds, and during her 20-year career in the entertainment industry she worked at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), at Equity, and for Thames TV.

[17] Carson concluded that the King's remains still lay under the Greyfriars Church in Leicester where he was originally buried and that the site ‘would now probably lie beneath the private car park of the Department of Social Services’[16] editions of 2008, 2009, pp.

[18] The Project's aim was to find the lost grave of Richard III and his mortal remains which meant excavating the same Social Services car park that Carson had written about.

[19] As well as being historical consultant, Carson contributed to the Project's scripting and copywriting, and produced the International Appeal that saved the dig from a £10,000 shortfall.

[26] Carson then produced a new edition of the seminal Latin text by Dominic Mancini describing the accession of Richard III in 1483: "de occupatione regni Anglie" with new English translation, analytical Introduction and full Historical Notes.

He went on to say: "Annette Carson has undertaken a mammoth task in retranslating Mancini's account of the controversial events of 1483 between the death of Edward IV and accession of Richard III.

Requested by Dr Arthur Kincaid[30] during his terminal illness, to assist in publishing his new edition of Sir George Buc's 1619 text The History of King Richard the Third,[31] Carson secured posthumous publication by the Society of Antiquaries (2023), underwritten by The Richard III Society; her contribution included editing, corrections, indexing and project management [32] [33]

[37] Carson states: "It's my belief we simply don't know as much as we're led to think we know about Richard III and his period, and an open mind serves us better than one that runs along well-worn paths.

The case contended that the failure of the UK Government to pay to pensioners resident in certain overseas countries the annual inflation uprating to their UK State Pension, which was paid to residents in other countries,[39] constituted discrimination in contravention of the Human Rights Act 1998 based on EU Human Rights legislation.
