Try Paul Kendall’s book “Richard III” for a sympathetic bio and Annette Carson’s book “The Maligned King” for unbelievable details on the problems that fell on Richard’s shoulders once his brother, King Edward IV died, and left him protector of the realm. For a book that looks at Richard’s mistakes and so-called crimes (he offed a man called Hastings), read David Baldwin’s book. I think it’s called “Richard the Third.” Enjoy - it’s a wonderful story.
Thank you so much for the reading recommendations.
