Description
The story of Perkin Warbeck is one of the most compelling mysteries of English history. A young man suddenly emerged claiming to be Richard of York, the younger of the Princes in the Tower, and tormented Henry VII for eight years. As he navigated the complex web of European politics, Warbeck's true identity remained elusive. He was used as a diplomatic pawn by the greatest rulers of the age, each assigning to him an identity that suited their purposes - either that of the Duke of York or a humble Flemish boy. The truth about his past may never be known for certain. Ann Wroe's meticulously researched biography sheds new light on this enigmatic figure and the secret corners of European history in which he operated.
