Toni Mount Richard III: King of Controversy Book Giveaway

Toni-Mount-Richard-III-King-of-Contoversy

Richard III is still an enigma. Villainous and heroic, romantic and ruthless, chivalrous and pious. Maligned by Shakespeare and history for 500 years. Although he reigned for just two years, he remains one of the best known, and least understood Kings of medieval England. Toni Mount’s book is a compelling introduction to the life of Richard III. His controversial ascendency to the throne, the mystery of the Princes in The Tower, his attempts to consolidate power in the North. The betrayal and battle that was his downfall and ignoble burial. His reputation continues to divide and intrigue. Lost for several centuries, his remains were re-discovered in 2012, both confirming and confounding his legend. His re-internment in Leicester Cathedral in 2015 has created yet more controversy for this, the last warrior King of England.

To celebrate the updated release of Toni Mount’s book that will give you familiarity with Richard III’s life and insight into his enduring reputation, we are giving away a personally signed softcover copy for the grand prize as well as five Kindle copies for the runners up.
