Description
Charles Ross's biography of Richard III is a deeply researched and thought-provoking study of one of England's most infamous monarchs. Despite ruling for just twenty-six months, Richard Plantagenet has become synonymous with treachery and violence.
This absorbing account explores the critical questions surrounding Richard's reign, including his usurpation of the throne, the murder of the Princes in the Tower, and the events leading up to the Battle of Bosworth. Ross provides a nuanced and balanced assessment of the king's life and legacy, shedding new light on a period of English history that continues to fascinate scholars and historians.
A new foreword by Professor Richard A. Griffiths highlights the enduring significance of Ross's biography, which has remained a leading study in its field since its initial publication in 1981.
