‘Lies! All lies!’
So many falsehoods have been proclaimed about King Richard III for 500 years – by William Shakespeare, Thomas More, Polydore Vergil and others. But not here!
A Spirited and Most Courageous Prince is a collection of short stories with a single aim: to restore the reputation good King Richard enjoyed during his lifetime.
Strip away the Tudor propaganda and what will you discover?
The valiant knight? The generous master? The even-handed lawgiver? The anxious boy? The gentle uncle? The fond lover?
All these faces can be found here: ‘Not the face of a saint, no, but neither that of a monster or a murderer. The face of a good man, a just man – and the face of a troubled man who had seen too much …’
This follow-up anthology to Grant Me the Carving of My Name (2018) and Right Trusty and Well Beloved… (2019)showcases stories by international authors inspired by all aspects of King Richard III.
