Historic Doubts On The Life And Reign Of King Richard III (1768) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781104177102)

Historic Doubts On The Life And Reign Of King Richard III is a book written by Horace Walpole in 1768. The book is a historical analysis of the life and reign of King Richard III, who ruled England from 1483 to 1485. Walpole raises doubts about the traditional portrayal of Richard as a villainous king who murdered his way to the throne. Instead, he presents a more nuanced view of Richard, questioning the accuracy of the historical accounts that have been passed down through the centuries. Walpole argues that Richard may have been the victim of a smear campaign designed to discredit him and his family. The book is written in a lively and engaging style, and Walpole draws on a wide range of historical sources to support his arguments. Overall, Historic Doubts On The Life And Reign Of King Richard III is a fascinating exploration of one of England's most controversial monarchs, and a thought-provoking challenge to the traditional view of his reign.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
