Dear Bernard
With the recent discovery of Richard the Third’s remains in a car park in Leicester. Have you thought about a book (or series) set around this turbulent period in English history? Perhaps a one-off book about the battle of Bosworth.
Also do you think Richard the Third’s remains should be re-buried in Leicester, York or even Westminster Abbey?
Congrats on 1356 just finished this book and it is excellent
Best wishes,

Steven

Hello Bernard,
The news this past week brought us the finding of the remains of Richard III (the last Plantagenet King) under a present day parking lot in Leicester (35-km from Bosworth where he was slain from a nasty halberd blow and multiple sword thrusts).
Question I have for you is why has Richard III been so reviled by his fellow Brits down through history? Is it simply because of Shakespeare? (“A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse”, along with actors portraying him with a curvature of the spine).
Your thoughts?
Kind regards,
