Outrageous indeed

A few days ago on a bookstall I found a novel by Christina Dodd entitled Outrageous, translated into Italian with the title Il segreto di lady Marian (here there is the amazon link for it: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Outrageous-Christina-Dodd/dp/0061081515/sr=1-25/qid=1166181088/ref=sr_1_25/203-8577989-8450316?ie=UTF8&s=books). It is set in the first years of Henry Tudor's kingdom and it's the story of how Marian, ex-lady companion to Elizabeth of York, and a knight called Griffith try to keep a child, Lionel, away from Tudor's clutches. Lionel is supposed to be Marian's son but in fact he's the son of Elizabeth of York and Richard III (!!!). Richard III had married Elizabeth in a private ceremony just a few days after Anne's death, had raped her and made her pregnant with his child. Then Elizabeth had given birth to Lionel after Bosworth and she had granted custody of him to Marian. Marian and Griffith try to plot against Henry Tudor to put Lionel on the English throne but at
the end they reach a compromise with Henry, who'll let the child alive on condition that Lionel will never know that his father was the former king.
In the whole book Richard is treated as a cruel, ruthless person capable even to rape the young ans sweet Elizabeth of York and force her into marriage. I've read a lot of things against Richard but I'd never saw him considered a raper of women till now. There will never be an end for the rubbish they can throw on him.

Never believed in the concept of parallel universes until now.
