Description

Richard III: A Complex Portrait Simon Sebag Montefiore describes Chris Skidmore's biography as 'fresh, gripping and vivid', while Dan Jones praises its 'majestically narrated' account. Leanda de Lisle finds it 'a portrait that chills you to the bone'. This compelling biography strips back the legends surrounding England's most controversial king, revealing Richard III as contemporaries saw him. By examining original manuscript evidence, Skidmore sheds light on a complex figure whose personality was forged in exile and combat. A dedicated brother and loyal general, Richard achieved every ambition except one: the crown. This biography offers a nuanced understanding of a pivotal moment in English history. Skidmore's work provides a thought-provoking exploration of a king often misunderstood by history.
