Richard III: The King in the Car Park: A Medieval Game of Thrones - Paperback

by Neil MacKenzie (Author)

Was Richard the monster who, in killing the Princes in the Tower, among others, forged a bloody path to usurp the throne? Was he the tyrant king of English history? Or was he a pious and just ruler, potentially one of our greatest kings? Did Richard discover a dark secret at the heart of Edward IV's reign, the revelation of which would split the country? This history offers an insight into the life and reign of one of England's most controversial kings. The discovery of his skeleton under a car park in Leicester has provided much new information, and the book considers just what this tells us about Richard III's life and death. This is book for those who wish to begin to learn about who Richard was and about the arguments that have raged over his reputation.By the author of The Medieval Boy Bishops.
