After 500 years of fervent debate by traditional historians and revisionists alike, the mystery of King Richard III and the murder of his nephews, Edward, Prince of Wales, and Richard, Duke of York, has now reached another milestone in the realm of critical analysis. In Royal Blood, Bertram Fields applies modern courtroom techniques to uncover the hidden truths surrounding the events described in Shakespeare's infamous play. Dispelling the political and cultural biases of the past, Fields attempts to answer the captivating questions that are fundamental in the case: Did Richard murder the two "tender princes", or was he victim of Tudor spin doctors? Is it possible that, in fact, the young boys weren't murdered at all? And if they were not killed, whose skeletons were found in the London Tower? Filled with puzzling queries and hundreds of years' worth of evidence, Royal Blood skillfully combines the gripping nature of true crime writing with the romance and intrigue of the English royal court, culminating in an irrefutable conclusion: Everything we think we know about Richard III is wrong.
