"In this long novel, bright with the colours of heraldry, as spell-binding as any tale of high adventure, but firmly based upon contemporary records and a psychological study of the man himself, Richard lives again through the eyes of his intimates: the woman whose ill-starred love brought him brief joy and her a bitter consummation; the cynical jester who diverted his hours of weariness; and the man-at-arms who betrayed him and then suffered - vainly - for his cause and his good name.
Against the background of lusty, tumultuous, fifteenth-century England, with its superstition and witchcraft, its courtly manners and cruel punishments, its sumptuous dresses and pitiless warfare, Rosemary Hawley Jarman presents a fascinating and faithful portrait of one of the most enigmatic figures in our history as he appeared to his contemporaries."
