Richard of England is the story of Prince Richard, Duke of York who returned to England to claim his rightful inheritance, the throne of England. This was in 1497, some 14 years after, according to legend, he was supposed to have been murdered as one of the "Princes in the Tower" by his wicked uncle King Richard III. But this was just a myth created by the Tudor dynasty. The recent discovery of King Richard III's body in a Leicester car park raises again the complex issues of this fascinating part of English history. Diana Kleyn traces the story of young Richard, Duke of York from childhood, through the courts of Europe to his attempts at invasion of England. The story contains drama, love and intrigue and ends in tragedy as befits a real true life story. But more than a story Diana Kleyn's book contains important references and translations which historians will find extremely important. These unravel the true story of events of that period which, until now, have not been revealed. Quite simply she is rewriting a fascinating part of English history.

About the Author

Diana Kleyn inherited her love of history, and of the fifteenth century in particular, from her father, Thomas Harding-Newman, who was a genealogist and historian. She spent the last two years of her education abroad, staying with families in Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy in order to learn the languages. On the outbreak of World War II, she returned to England to work first in Naval Intelligence, and then in Military Intelligence. It was here she met her Dutch-born husband, who was also working in Military Intelligence. After the war her husband became a naturalised Englishman and after finishing work they retired down in Dorset, England. After her husband's death, she dedicated her time to the story of Richard, Duke of York, who had gone down in history as 'Perkin Warbeck'. She was a long time member of the Richard III Society and enjoyed lecturing on this period of history, and then researching and writing the book 'Richard of England' originally published in 1990. Diana Kleyn died in 1996. Since then her son, Peter, has followed up on the story and having found her original manuscripts and research has instigated this new version in 2013.

just because he was an effette coward, doesn't mean he wasn't the rightful king of england

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017

if you want to know about perkin warbeck, this is the book for you. it is even-handed in its approach, given that it leads one to the conclusion that perkiin really was the younger prince. besides giving both sides to the argument, it also shows the prejudices of historians in dealing with this subject. as new research reveals information previously unknown or hard to find, the case for perkin gets stronger all the time.
perhaps, one of the best features would be the appendices. one will find there the letter of perkin to isabella and ferdinand, his confession, and relevant documents, so that they may be perused in full. there is also with the main text large quotations about the pretender from various persons involved (ambassadors, kings and queens of many governments, etc).
a masterful coverage of the topic
so, when is someone going to get permission to dig up his body for dna tests? surprisingly, they know where it is.

Just who was he? The mystery lives on.

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

For those who have become addicted to all things Ricardian, and the mystery of the "Princes in the Tower" this book, while not a long read, is succinct and thoughtfully put together. It does not take the "because Henry Tudor and Thomas More said so" tack, and takes the opposite point of view. Rather than assuming Perkin Warbeck was an imposter and working from that basic premise, the author marshals extensive sources and hitherto unexplained enigmas in his story, that make perfect sense only if he really WAS Richard, Duke of York. Further, if Henry Tudor was so certain the young man was indeed Perkin Warbeck, why was did he confusedly call him by at least two different names? Delving deeply into the recently unearthed archives of Ferdinand & Isabella and the codes they used for those they knew to be royal, is just one of many previously unexplored areas of research.
While many will not agree with the author's conclusions, there are definitely alternatives that have not previously been taken seriously by historians, and are in sore need of further scholarly exploration.

Richard of England by Diana Kleyn

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a very fair book about Perkin Warbeck aka Richard of England which gives a clear explanation of who exactly he was. I have long thought he was Edward 1V's son and that he was not killed in the Tower of London as history has stated for 500 years. I believe that now that Richard 111's body has been found and all sorts of theories are proving to be incorrect, that it is time to reopen the murder of the Princes in the Tower theory with a view to getting DNA samples on the supposed bones in the Abbey.

Very detailed!

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2020

I have an above-average knowledge of Richard 'IV' , a.k.a. Perkin Warbeck so I was very surprised to see that there are so many sources (for example, letters from ambassadors to their home countries) that refer to him. This is the most detailed book I've read so far about Richard.

Anybody who has any interest in the period covered by Richard III and Henry VII would do very well to read this book about Richard Duke of York, more popularly known to history as Perkin Warbeck. Immaculately researched - detailed in it's analysis - a must for anyone with an interest in the people involved.
When Mrs. Kleyn wrote this book the remains of Richard III had not been discovered. However, now that we have his DNA would it not be the solution to the mystery if a comparative test was done on the remains of Perkin Warbeck? (The whereabouts of which are known).
Prince or peasant - it would be so good to know the answer!

Was he or wasn't he?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book explores the possibility that the imposter Perkin Warbeck, who claimed to be Richard the son of King Edward IV of England and one of the 'princes in the tower', might have been telling the truth. There is a lot of evidence given in the form of quotations and character witness statements and it is quite convincing. In particular the fact that no-one ever said he had a foreign accent and yet if he was indeed from the continent, it would have been impossible to learn to speak English without an accent in the time he had available. Why don't you read it and judge for yourself?!

Richard of England

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

The author believes that Perkin Warbeck was actually Richard, Duke of York, the supposedly surviving son of Edward IV with his Queen, Elizabeth Woodville. There is speculation that at least one of the Princes if not both of them survived the Tower.

This biography charts Warbeck's (or the young Prince's) attempt to depose Henry VII and claim the throne as his right. But he lacked support. The reader would have to make his or her own mind on whether or not this young man was Richard, Duke of York. It was said he closely resembled the late Edward IV.

The story of Perkin Warbeck

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 13, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is a fair and interesting assesment of the Perkin Warbeck affair. The author makes out a compelling case for Perkin being the missing prince, Richard of York, the second of the two princes in the Tower.
