Richard III : a ruler and his reputation

Horspool, David, 1971-2017
Books, Manuscripts
Richard III is an obsession with a vast number of people. The Richard III Society has a huge membership. Shakespeare has helped. Now with the discovery of Richard III's bones under a car park in Leicester the obsession has been even further ignited. Horspool is as concerned to examine the legend as well as the man, which is every bit as interesting. Have we subsequently considered 'Crook Back Dick' to be the personification of evil and if so how far is this justified? And consequently, where should his remains now be buried. In a Cathedral, a churchyard or burned and scattered to the wind on some blasted heath?
