‘All too often historical works are published and all have the same basic fault and it is this: although scholarly they are inherently dull, but this is a rare exception which, although still painstaking and detailed, carries the reader along with its sheer enthusiasm for the subject… this author reveals one must keep in mind a number of factors. One is the context of the times in which Richard lived, another is that history is always written by the victors, and then there are the liberties taken by writers (both old and new) of popular historical fiction’. ‘All is told in a matter of fact and immensely readablefashion and well worth the effort of spending a few hours learning something about the life and death of this important historical character.’ ‘This biography sifts the evidence, including contemporary Welsh language sources, placing Richard in the context of his times, and assesses the other candidates put forward to have killed the princes. John Locke wrote that “the actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts”, and upon this basis the investigation leads to one conclusion.’ (also in paperback, 320pp 2015)
