Five centuries have passed since Richard III was King of England.
He reigned for just two years. Then retribution swept away his
throne, his life, his dynasty and, above all, his reputation. He
has been vilified as a murderer and a monster. It is through
Shakespeare's portrayal that subsequent generations knew Richard
III as an evil king. Then, in this century, Richard III has found
his advocates: those who regard him as more sinned against than
sinning. The process of rehabilitation has begun. This study by an
acclaimed scholar of Richard III strips away the legends,
propaganda and the posturing of the centuries and rescues Richard
from his critics and supporters alike and, by revealing
contemporary evidence and attitudes, recreates the world of
Ricardian politics and ideo logical warfare, and seeks to explain
Richard's bewildering transformation in his own lifetime from the
model of nobility, via kingship, to tyrant and monster.
