The Last Days + Burial + DNA Research Regarding,
By
This review is from: The Last Days of Richard III (Hardcover)
This book is all three of the above. The last days parts cover the events, the daily life and the political situation of Richard III at the end of his life. A third of the text covers the burial, aftermath and a discussion of DNA.There is an analysis of the disputed theories regarding the night before the Battle of Bosworth, Richard III's Burial, Henry Tudor's claim to the throne and other issues. There is a lot of ready reference in the text, the notes and appendices. I'm glad the publisher sacrificed black and white for color, so there are many more pictures than you'd expect for a volume of this size. The discussion of DNA at the end was interesting as was the discussion of the descendents of the York line. The author has a readable style and makes the material accessible to the general reader. Those who are knowledgeable about Richard III may want to have this in their libraries for its reference value. |
