The History Of King Richard The Third (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169212756)

""The History of King Richard the Third"" is a historical account of the reign of King Richard III of England, written by Sir Thomas More in the early 16th century. The book chronicles Richard's rise to power, his controversial reign, and his eventual downfall at the Battle of Bosworth Field. More's work is notable for its vivid descriptions of the political and social climate of the time, as well as its portrayal of Richard as a ruthless and power-hungry monarch. The book has been the subject of much controversy and debate among historians, with some arguing that More's portrayal of Richard is biased and inaccurate. Despite this, ""The History of King Richard the Third"" remains an important historical document and a fascinating glimpse into the politics and power struggles of 15th century England.For Richarde the Duke of Gloucester, by nature theyr Uncle, by office theire protectoure, to theire father beholden, to them selfe by othe and allegyaunce bownden, al the bandes broken that binden manne and manne together, withoute anye respecte of Godde or the worlde, unnaturallye contriued to bereue them, not onelye their dignitie, but also their liues.
