Описание книги
Richard III remains one of the most controversial rulers in history. Whether he was guilty of murdering his nephews or not is a mystery that perhaps will never be solved. Even the location of the battlefield where, on 22 August 1485, Richard was struck down has been a matter of debate.

This book leads you on a journey through the landscape of Richard’s time. It visits the resplendent castles, towering cathedrals, and manor houses associated with Richard, such as Middleham Castle, Richard’s adopted childhood home, and Tewkesbury Abbey, where he helped his brother Edward IV secure his throne. The Middle Ages come alive as each location is explored through engaging narrative and an extensive collection of photographs, floor plans and images.

  • The discovery and reburial of Richard III's body has markedly increased the interest in the controversial monarch; Richard himself has a considerable following (the Richard III Society boasts over 5,000 members)
  • Includes over 80 locations associated with Richard III, including Middleham Castle (Yorkshire), Tewkesbury Abbey (Gloucestershire) and the Tower of London
  • 'A sweeping journey through the many and varied places familiar to Richard ... delightful and inspiring ... [a] beautifully illustrated and well-informed book' THE RICARDIAN REVIEW
  • Part of Amberley's popular Richard III and the Wars of the Roses ranges
  • The perfect book to stock in York, Leicester and all manner of heritage sites with a connection to Richard III.
  • The author has experience of being on the radio and speaking publicly, and actively promotes her books via lectures, radio interviews, book signings and social media
