Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous period in English history surrounding the reign of King Richard III. It meticulously examines the events leading up to his ascension to the throne, including the death of his brother King Edward IV and the subsequent power struggles within the court. The author carefully dissects the complex web of political alliances and rivalries, particularly between the Woodville family (Queen Elizabeth's relatives) and the established Yorkist nobility, which shaped Richard's path to becoming king. The narrative challenges the traditional portrayal of Richard III as a tyrannical usurper, instead presenting him as a skilled and decisive leader navigating a treacherous political landscape. The book explores the accusations of foul play and murder that have long been associated with Richard, dissecting historical accounts and challenging their accuracy and bias. By examining contemporary records and offering alternative perspectives, the author sheds light on the motivations and actions of Richard and those around him, providing a nuanced understanding of this controversial figure. Through a comprehensive analysis of the political climate, key figures, and pivotal events of the time, this book offers a fresh perspective on King Richard III and his role in English history. It invites readers to reconsider long-held assumptions and appreciate the complexities of a monarch whose legacy continues to be debated centuries later.
