Description
King Richard III remains one of the most controversial figures in British history. This new biography aims to provide a comprehensive account of his life, shedding light on the complexities surrounding this enigmatic monarch. The book explores Richard's background and childhood, from his early years of insecurity and exile to his rise as a royal prince under the guidance of his guardian, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick. The author then delves into Richard's return from exile with his brother, Edward IV, and his subsequent development as a crucial figure in his brother's government. The book examines the critical events leading up to Richard's coronation and his time as king, including the Battle of Bosworth where he fell amongst his household knights. By assessing the short-term and long-term impacts of Richard's reign, this biography seeks to bring peace to his reputation by uncovering the man behind the myths.
