A lucid nineteenth-century account of Richard III and the violent dynastic struggle that reshaped late medieval England. In this volume from Jacob Abbott's well-known Makers of History series, the rise, reign, and fall of Richard III are presented in a clear and accessible narrative that follows the political rivalries, family betrayals, and contested succession crises that defined the closing phase of the Wars of the Roses. Abbott has a gift for making complicated historical material readable without losing the essential sequence of events, and this makes the book especially useful for general readers approaching the period for the first time. The narrative places Richard within the wider collapse of Plantagenet authority and traces the forces that culminated in the Tudor victory at Bosworth. Abbott's book is widely described as a historical account of Richard III and the surrounding York-Lancaster conflict, with coverage of Edward IV, the usurpation crisis, and Henry Tudor's triumph.
