Richard III: The Road to Leicester

Richard III: The Road to Leicester

Following the dramatic announcement that Richard IIIâ€™s body had been discovered, past controversies have been matched by fresh disputes. Why is Richard III Englandâ€™s most controversial king?

The question of his reburial has provoked national debate and protest, taking levels of interest in the medieval king to an unprecedented level. While Richardâ€™s life remains able to polarise opinion, the truth probably lies somewhere between the maligned saint and the evil hunchback stereotypes. Why did he seize the throne? Did he murder the Princes in the Tower? Why have the location and details of his reburial sparked a parliamentary debate? This book will act as both an introduction to his life and reign and a commemoration to tie in with his reburial this summer in Leicester Cathedral.
