Great Research but too many biased conclusions

Revisado: 01-22-24

The book presents excellent research and many issues to consider However, there is too much kind consideration given to the actions of Richard III in the steps leading up to the placement of King Edward. First, the idea that he was protector and given the task of safe transfer of the throne is not analyzed in the light that he utterly failed at that. Even if the quite convincing evidence that the disappearance is not necessarily the result of their murder at the hands of their uncle, there is not enough common sense analysis of the actions taken by Richard III. Mainly, his execution of Anthony Woodville and Hastings. It is simply explained that he could do it by right of his role as Constable. Because , he could does in know way explain that he should or had a reasonable reason for doing so. The remainder of the books evidence of the plausibility of the princes survival is good. Yet, the book spends too much time trying to justify horrific and sinister acts of Richard III. You can believe that he did not murder the children and still recognize he totally failed at protecting them and was overly aggressive and ambitious in claiming the throne.

I loved the story and the way it was told. It provided a great backdrop to the The White Queen.
