I, RICHARD PLANTAGENET: THE PREQUEL, PART ONE: THE ROAD FROM FOTHERINGHAY

Before there was a King called Richard III, there was a boy, Richard of the House of York, youngest living child of his large, royal-blooded family. A small, thin, nervous boy who witnesses the terror of the sack of Ludlow and is taken prisoner in its aftermath, along with his mother Cecily and two of his siblings. A child of eight sent for safety to a strange foreign land when his father is killed in battle and one of his brothers murdered, their heads spiked above the gates of York by the Lancastrian victors. A young boy raised to knighthood and a Dukedom by his eldest brother, the warrior-king Edward IV, then sent to Middleham Castle to receive knightly training in the household of his kinsman, Richard Neville--the infamous Warwick the Kingmaker. A place and a man that will shape the future course of Richard's life...First part in a three part series on Richard III's childhood and youth. Prequel to the I, RICHARD PLANTAGENET series--TANTE LE DESIREE, LOYAULTE ME LIE and A MAN WHO WOULD BE KING.Read more
