He would only be involved in a project that portrayed him in a light that reflected the archives of his own time, rather than from the times of the enemy that overthrew him or the ludicrous Shakespearian version. RA has been keen on this project for years, and if he could get it right and find it a wide enough audience, he could do his namesake a lot of good and make his dad very proud.

Keeping my fingers very much crossed for this.

One great book about Richard III that portrays him in a good light is Sunne of Splendour by Sharon Penman. It's a fabulous read. I would love to see a drama based on that book, especially if RA was in it!
