The History of King Richard the Third is a historical biography written by Sir Thomas More in the 16th century. The book is a detailed account of the life and reign of King Richard III of England, who ruled from 1483 to 1485. The biography covers Richard's rise to power, his controversial ascension to the throne, his reign as king, and his eventual downfall at the Battle of Bosworth Field. More's account of Richard III is often considered biased, as he was a supporter of the Tudor dynasty, who overthrew Richard III and established their own reign. Nevertheless, the book provides valuable insights into the political and social climate of 15th century England, as well as the character and actions of one of England's most controversial monarchs.For Richarde the Duke of Gloucester, by nature theyr Uncle, by office theire protectoure, to theire father beholden, to them selfe by othe and allegyaunce bownden, al the bandes broken that binden manne and manne together, withoute anye respecte of Godde or the worlde, unnaturallye contriued to bereue them, not onelye their dignitie, but also their liues.
