A Glimpse of King Richard III offers a brief telling of the life of one of England's most renowned monarchs. This book is deliberately short and necessarily misses out large amounts of detail but offers an overview of this fascinating topic.King Richard III of England was the last of the Plantagenet Kings and the last King of England to die on the battlefield.His story has been passed into the common consciousness as one of an evil uncle ruthlessly seizing power from and killing his own nephews. Yet he is also the only monarch to have a current and active fan club seeking to rehabilitate his reputation.The discovery of the bones of King Richard III in Leicester have re-ignited interest on a global scale and presents a fresh opportunity to examine the reputation King Richard languishes in and to try to determine whether or not he deserves it.This book aims to provide a brief overview of the events of Richard's life, his reputation, the upheavals of 1483, his brief reign and his death. It also examines his reputation from inception to accepted truth and offers a glimpse of the man behind the caricature. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The author summarises events about King Richard III and his times by focusing on the most important points.
Apart from a few punctuation errors, plus the occasional syntax issue, Matthew Lewis’s writing style isn’t bad.
A decent little read about a massive topic. ( )
