Richard III: His Life & Character, Reviewed in the Light of Recent Research
Richard III: His Life and Character, published in 1906, is Sir Clements Markham's defense of the last Plantagenet king against the portrait of a deformed murderer handed down by Tudor writers and Shakespeare. Markham, a geographer and historian, first tells Richard's life: his childhood, the deaths of his father and brother at Wakefield, the battles of Towton, Barnet and Tewkesbury, his marriage and service in the north, his accession, his reign and his death at Bosworth. The second part examines the sources and the charges one by one, argues that the princes in the Tower were killed under Henry VII rather than Richard, and answers the historian James Gairdner. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
