Richard iii has always been so interesting to me and I wish I could find out more!

How exciting it was, when Richard III was found in the car park and given the burial, that he, as King, deserved. I would love to read this book. Thank you for the chance.
Fascinating character

I have had a new fascination for Richard III since his tomb was rediscovered. I’ve really enjoyed learning about his life and would love a chance to win this book. Thank you!
Wonderful! Richard III is intriguing character. Why the facts about him are so non-compatible? One can paint ugly vicious creature or responsible and thoughtful introvert.

I’m fascinated by the “Wars of the Roses” period of history and would love to win this book :o)

Even though Richard came to the throne by most probably highly questionable, at best, means, I think he could have done good things for England. Thanks for the opportunity!
Looks like it would be interesting. And I do not have any books on Richard III.
