- Summary:
- He was only on the throne for just over two years, yet Richard is probably the most controversial monarch in British history; to some the hunchbacked schemer, usurper and murderer of the "princes in the Tower," to others a very capable and much maligned ruler.The story of his life and short but memorable reign is told for the first time through expert narrative and key surviving documentsheld mainly by the National Archives, including extracts from state papers and letters in his own hand, reproduced from the 500 year old originals. Hero or villain? Read the evidence to make up your own mind. Sean Cunningham is Medieval and Early Modern Records Manager at the Public Records Office and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.He is the author of various articles and contributions to other books and journals, and he is currently writing a major new biography of Henry VIII.
