In response to the recent upsurge of interest in King Richard III, Annette Carson's 2009 paperback has been updated with details of the discovery of his mortal remains in 2012 and verified in 2013. The book challenges the traditional black portrait of Richard III created by Thomas More and Shakespeare, seeking to provide a more reasoned view based on original sources and documentary evidence.
