Richard III is such a fascinating character! So excited about this.
I would like to read this book!
This would be interesting. I don’t think richard iii is as much a villain as history painted him.
Excellent author and one book already on my wishlist, goodcluck to all who enter.
Yes please!
yes please!
Thanks for the chance!
Richard the third has a fascinating history . The unanswered questions make it so frustrating. When we visited his grave site and new resting place it was quite an ethereal experience.
Please let me have this
Thanks for the opportunity!
Nice giveaway.I’m a fan of this author and I have read his book about the Amy Robsart scandel so I’m pretty sure I would enjoy this one as well and I’ve never read an entire book about Richard III so it be great to read about him from an author I already enjoy.

I’d like the chance to win this work.
Yes please! This looks amazing!
Yes please
Would love to learn more about Richard. Sounds like a great read
I’m not a Ricardian but I confess that I’ve been intrigued by Richard for awhile now. I’m excited to learn more about him! x
Another interesting book I would love to read!
Oooooh I’d like to read this. I’m not a die-hard Ricardian (this king was an opportunist usurper, despite his good deeds during his reign; well, this is just my opinion) but he’s such an interesting figure all in all! Wars of the Roses & its people are so interesting!
This would be a great addition!
Looking forward to reading this.
I would love this book! Thank you for a chance. Michelle t

I feel like I keep saying each book would be right up my alley (and that’s true!) but this one really would be. I’ve grown much more interested in Richard III as of late and would love to delve further into him and his world. And being somewhat familiar with Chris Skidmore as an interview and author, I know I would enjoy this particular piece of his work.
I think this would be an interesting read.
Would love this!
Would Love this! Always looking for different views on Richard III. I don’t think he was responsible for the Princes in the Tower, but always looking to see different opinions. Would love to read this!
I’d love to have this in my shelf, Richard is such an interesting figure and Skidmore is a great historian
Never miss such an opportunity!
Looks like a good book.
My kind of king.
This looks wonderful!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win a signed copy! 🙂
