Richard III
New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Writing eight years before Richard III’s body was discovered, Michael Hicks offers a balanced biography of a king who had been routinely vilified. Following an overview of England during the late 15th century, he explores his role as Duke of Gloucester, how he took the throne, Buckingham’s rebellion and the defamation that defined Richard for centuries.
Product information
Full publisher description
Richard III has been written off in history as one of England's evil kings. His usurpation of the throne from his nephew Edward V and then subsequent generations of pro-Tudor historians ensured his fame as the disfigured murderer portrayed by Shakespeare. In the twentieth century, Richard found his apologists, those who saw him as more sinned against than sinning. This biography - by the leading expert on Richard - strips away the propaganda of the centuries to rescue Richard from his critics and supporters alike, providing a balanced and compelling portrait of this most infamous of kings.
