About this title: In this chronicle of the years from 1377 to 1485, Costain describes the reigns of Henrys and Richards, who were born to the House of Plantagenets. He focuses on Richard III. Was he the villain we see on stage, or the whipping boy of history? Costain holds the latter view and presents compelling evidence.

"Part of the Four Volume set. Very informative, interesting and unbiased read into the true history and lives of the Plantagenet kings and queens and those of whom they ruled. I highly recommend every volume in this series!"
"A fascinating look at history from poor Richard II down through Richard III, and the controversy surrounding Richard III and his two nephews. Costain is a true historian, delving into the past for clues...my first "true love" of books. I've had to buy this book three times in my life, as I keep wearing it out."
"Thomas Costain is an amazing storyteller. The way he writes is so engrossing that you can easily forget that it is non fiction. Hardcore historians may cringe at some of his storytelling tactics but he remains true to history and being unbiased."
