DESCRIPTION:The last Plantagenet king remains one of England's most famous
  and controversial monarchs. There are few parallels in English history th
 at can match the drama of Richard III's reign\, witnessed in its full bloo
 dy intensity.\n\nA dedicated brother and loyal stalwart to the Yorkist dyn
 asty for most of his early life\, Richard's personality was forged in the 
 tribulation of exile and the brutality of combat. An ambitious nobleman an
 d successful general with a loyal following\, Richard was a man who could 
 claim to have achieved every ambition in life\, except one.\n\nBy strippin
 g back the legends that surround Richard's life and reign\, and returning 
 to original manuscript evidence\, Chris Skidmore rediscovers the man as co
 ntemporaries saw him. Chris presents every facet of Richard's personality:
  as one of the most significant figures in medieval history\, whose action
 s and behaviour underline the true nature of power in an age of great uphe
 aval and instability.
