Description
Richard III: The Maligned King by Annette Carson A new and updated edition of this work has been released, bringing the story right up to date. In 2012, Annette Carson was part of the team that discovered King Richard III's mortal remains, verified in 2013 through DNA matching. This revised edition includes details of the discovery and new illustrations, making it easier to read. For centuries, our understanding of Richard III has been shaped by fictional portrayals in literature. In this book, Carson seeks to redress the balance by examining his reign based on original sources. She investigates the actions and activities of key characters, using documentary evidence to uncover the truth behind the events of his rule. By eschewing assumptions and exploring areas where historians fear to tread, Carson raises many thought-provoking questions. By tracing the facts as they appear in historical records, Carson presents a nuanced view of Richard III's life and reign. This book is an opportunity for readers to form their own opinion about this often-maligned king.
