Richard III (1981)

Format: Hardcover ISBN: 0520045890 Condition: Very Good  A poem has been taped to the flyleaf and the book has a slight amount of shelf wear. Book Description: Richard III has been the most persistently vilified of all English kings. In the century after his death, no one of note had any great interest in defending his name, or could risk doing so. Henry VII and Henry VIII meted out a brutal fate to each potential claimant to the Yorkist throne and this was sufficient deterrent to any prudent person to keep silent about the king the Tudors most loved to hate. - from the back cover
