Richard III: England’s Black Legend by Desmond Seward [PDF/ePUB]

Publisher: Pegasus; 1 edition (July 15, 2014)

With the recent discovery of Richard III’s remains, a newly-revised edition of the celebrated biography of England’s most notorious king.

With the victory of Henry Tudor, the usurping dynasty made an effort to besmirch the last Plantagenet’s reputation, and some historians claim that Richard’s “black legend” is nothing more than political propaganda. Yet such an interpretation, as Desmond Seward shows in this powerfully-argued book, suggests a refusal to face the facts of history. Even in the king’s lifetime there were rumors about his involvement in the murders of Henry VI and of his nephews, the “Princes in the Tower,” while his reign was considered by many to be a nightmare, not least for the king himself. The real Richard III was both a chilling and compelling monarch, a peculiarly grim young English precursor of Machiavelli’s Prince.  Sweeping aside sentimental fantasy, this is a colorful, authoritative biography that offers a definitive picture of both the age and the man. 16 pages of B&W photographs
