A detailed exploration of Richard III's last 150 days. Ashdown-Hill shows Richard as no passive victim, awaiting defeat, but a king actively pursuing his own agenda. The text has been updated with details of the discovery of Richard's skeleton, detail of how he died, and how the DNA link to a living relative of the king allowed the royal body to be identified.
