The Secret Diary of Francis Lovell - Paperback

by Dawn Wheeler (Author)

A what-if-the-tales-are-true imagined diary of a rather elusive but important historical figure ...

Francis Lovell, King Richard III's closest friend and high-ranking councilor disappeared without a trace in 1487. What if his final resting place was a hidden chamber beneath one of his family's estates as stories suggest? What if as the rumors imply, Francis wrote something before he died that could help us better understand him and the king he served? A stack of parchment dating back to the 15th century was recently discovered near Oxford England. It is believed to contain Lovell's last written words. If authentic, this Secret Diary of Francis Lovell provides an intriguing personal glimpse into this elusive man's life and the price he paid for friendship and loyalty. It also offers potential explanations for the most debated mysteries surrounding Richard III and may very well change history's view of this much maligned king.
