Overview
No king aroused and continues to arouse stronger passions - for and against - than Richard III. During his reign, no king faced more determined opposition; yet in this century no king's posthumous reputation has been more staunchly defended. In interpreting the evidence, some of which was itself the product of the contemporary war of propaganda, is it possible to steer a course between the pro- and anti-Richard factions? When assessing Richard III should we apply 'medieval' or 'modern' standards? In Richard III: A Medieval Kingship, seven historians, all acknowledged experts on the fifteenth century, yet with widely divergent views, consider seven different aspects of the life and reign of Richard III.Editorials
