king of england

Membership in the Richard III Society is huge and the interest in Britain's last Plantagenet King is at an all-time high after the discovery of his bones under a parking lot in Leicester, England in 2010. Thanks to Shakespeare, his reputation was dark and he has been accused of the murder of the princes in the tower. This book dispassionately examines the legend as well as the man to uncover his life and possibly alter his reputation. His death at the Battle of Bosworth signaled the end of the War of the Roses and the medieval period in England.

Actually finding the grave of Richard III, the last king of the English Plantagenet dynasty, was a riveting event for the world. And locating a direct descendent, who happened to be a carpenter, was also riveting. Especially because he constructed his kingly ancestor's coffin for the re-burial. The entire story of the excavation, reconstruction of King Richard III's face, and his reburial, completed the most sensational archaeological find for generations.

Edward is the King of England. He's also dying, which is inconvenient, as he's only sixteen and he'd much rather be planning for his first kiss than considering who will inherit his crown. Jane is Edward's cousin, and far more interested in books than in romance. Unfortunately for Jane, Edward has arranged to marry her off to secure the line of succession. And there's something a little odd about her intended, Gifford. He is a horse. Every day at dawn he becomes a noble chestnut steed - but then he wakes at dusk with a mouthful of hay. It's all very dignified.
