a ruler and his reputation
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.
