Summary

"Richard III: His Life & Character, Reviewed in the Light of Recent Research" by Sir Clements R. Markham is a biography that seeks to re-evaluate the reputation of King Richard III, arguing that history has unfairly judged him. The book prepares to walk through Richard's life, then it will turn a critical eye toward the accusations leveled against him, driven by the core idea of rectifying past prejudices and offering a well-balanced view of the king's real impact. The overall goal is to provide evidence-based insights into Richard's reign, separating fact from the fiction that has shaped his historical image.
