I recently finished reading the biography of Richard III by Sir Clements Markham, published in about 1906, to which I referred earlier. It was well researched and an interesting book to read, particularly as it was the main influence on Tey, as I understand it.
It’s available from Project Gutenberg for anyone interested in learning more about the actual documentary evidence that survived. Apparently a lot of documents about Richard’s reign were destroyed by Henry VII’s pet historians. I wonder why?
