Richard III
New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Until recently historians largely accepted the traditional view of Richard III as the villain portrayed by Shakespeare, but he has more lately attracted apologists. Returning to the original sources, this study assesses the criticism and support of England’s last Plantagenet monarch to provide a balanced account of his life and reign, and the Tudor propaganda campaign against him.
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.
