About this product

Product Information

Understandably, the usurping Tudor dynasty blackened the last Plantagenet's reputation, and some historians claim that Richard's 'black legend' is thing more than political propaganda. Yet such an interpretation, as Desmond Seward shows in this powerfully argued book, suggests a refusal to face facts. Even in the king's lifetime there were rumours about his involvement in the murders of Henry VI and of his nephews, the 'Princes in the Tower', while his reign was 'a nightmare, t least for the king himself'. The real Richard was both chilling and compelling, 'a peculiarly grim young English precursor of Machiavelli's Prince'. Sweeping aside sentimental fantasy, this is a biography that offers a definitive picture of both the age and the man. 'A well written and colourful account of an intriguing period in English history.' New York Times 'Perhaps the best, and certainly the most readable, of recent biographies.' John Julius Norwich 'A valuable addition to the file, a biography of strong feeling and firmly held conviction arrived at after long thought... It is most readable.' Financial Times
