King Richard III examines the final Yorkist king and the political crisis that brought him to the throne in 1483. It traces his career under Edward IV, his northern administration and his assumption of royal power after the disappearance of Edward’s sons.

The biography reviews the evidence surrounding the Princes in the Tower, Richard’s government and his defeat by Henry Tudor at Bosworth. It also follows the creation of his villainous reputation and the modern debates renewed by the discovery of his remains in Leicester.
