What does everyone think of this?
So far as Richard himself is concerned, it is almost balanced, except with regard to the ex-Princes, referring to him as the murderer. It is sound on his anti-benevolence laws although regarding his reign is described as an interruption of the normal situation.
I bought it for my Thomas Stafford research but am, predictably, reading every page. TS is scarcely mentioned in the index, except as a footnote, however the appendix contains a fantastic genealogy: Poles down to Catherine and Francis' sons, Staffords down to Dorothy's sons, Edward IV's other daughters and the Greys, right down to Jane's great-nephew marrying Arbella Stuart.
If you can put up with the first few pages and share my obsession with Yorkist genealogy, borrow it!
