Description: Was Richard III the murderer of his two nephews and the poisoner of his own wife, or was his only real crime to be on the losing side. This clear and careful narrative relates the events of the year 1483 in which three kings occupied the throne of England. The story is blood-stained and violent enough, whether or not the Princes were murdered in the Tower. The author shows very clearly what a crucial part was played by dynastic marriages, not only of the families contending for the throne but for the vast estates, the wealth and the power over great tracts of country that were often vested in the person of an heiress.
Notes: Includes index.
