Another writer, this time a Welsh one, Terry Breverton, climbs on
the bandwagon with a biography of "RichardIII - The King in the Car
Park".
The blurb holds out no hope for an unbiased, well rounded view of Richard's life and achievements, particularly the quote from Locke...
"Was he the grotesque usurper and murderer of the Princes in the Tower, as depicted by Shakespeare just over a hundred years after Richard's death in battle? Or has his name been blackened over the years, as claimed by his apologists, the Richard III Society? This biography sifts the contemporary evidence, placing Richard in the context of his times, and assesses the likelihood of other candidates put forward to have killed the Princes in the Tower. John Locke wrote that 'the actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts' and upon this basis the investigation leads to one conclusion."
