|
 | Henry VI (Yale English Monarchs Series) by B Wolffe

|
 | Richard III (Yale English Monarchs Series) by C Ross
Buy new: £14.78 / Used from: £11.99 C. D. Ross's dispassionate look at the infamous Richard III. Impartial and reasoned, even if surprisingly short for a king who has generated so much debate since his death.
