A sweeping historical novel, The Sunne in Splendour follows Richard III of England from youth to death, portraying him not as the traditional villain but as a loyal, capable man shaped by family loyalty, political upheaval, and circumstance during the Wars of the Roses. Through richly detailed court politics, shifting alliances, and deeply human relationships—especially with his brother Edward IV of England and wife Anne Neville—the novel presents a sympathetic, Ricardian interpretation of his rise to the throne and the controversy surrounding the Princes in the Tower, culminating in his tragic defeat at Bosworth and the enduring question of how history judges its kings.
