Summary
A reassessment of Richard, Duke of York, who rebelled against his king, bringing bloody civil war to England. Father to two kings and an ancestor of the Tudor dynasty, Richard was a complex man who has been remembered as one whose ambition knew no bounds. This biography by Matthew Lewis challenges this long-accepted view, revealing a complex family man with unparalleled power and responsibilities.
