I'd be interested to know if you come up with anything unbiased with a bit of research! Especially in this country. Shakespeare wrote in Tudor times and created a fabulous monster who murdered his young nephews to steal the throne. I have a wonderful book called Royal Blood by Bertram Fields that attempts to sift the facts from the fiction. It includes a moving discription of Richard's courage at the Battle of Bosworth where he died. In fact, all the historical documents from the time he lived paint a very different picture from the one I was taught at school. It's a perfect lesson in how history is written by the victors. This is RA's pet project and I really hope he can pull it off. |
