Historians Matt Lewis and Nathen Amin join The Ricardian Podcast host Alec Marsh to discuss the historical standing of Richard III today.
Is the last Plantagenet king who fell at Bosworth in 1485 still regarded by historians as a villain – one who murdered his brother, Clarence, his wife, Anne and his nephews – the Princes in the Tower? Did he really conspire against Edward IV and want to marry his niece, Elizabeth of York?
How has historical opinion changed in the past 50 to 100 years and what is the new consensus?
Historian and broadcaster Matt Lewis, author of Richard III: Loyalty Binds Me and The Survival of the Princes in the Tower, returns to the podcast to offer his assessment alongside Tudor historian Nathen Amin. The resulting conversation is full of more agreement – and surprises – than you would imagine!
