Not many people would claim to be saints, or alternatively,
consider themselves entirely without redeeming qualities. Some are
unquestionably worse than others, but few have been held in greater
infamy than Richard Plantagenet, afterwards Duke of Gloucester and,
later still, King Richard III. Richard's character has been
besmirched as often as it has been defended, and the arguments
between his detractors and supporters still rage after several
centuries. Was he a ruthless hunchback who butchered his way to the
throne, a paragon of virtue who became a victim of Tudor
propaganda, or (as seems more likely) something in between? Some
would argue that a true biography is impossible because the letters
and other personal documents required for this purpose are simply
not available; but David Baldwin has overcome this through an
in-depth study of Richard's dealings with his contemporaries and of
information gleaned from the recent discovery of his skeleton.
Tracking Richard's journey from birth to death, this new edition is
brought right up to date with an exploration of the latest
scientific discoveries and an account of the king's reburial in
Leicester Cathedral. The fundamental question David Baldwin has
answered is 'what was Richard III really like'.
