Description

A year after Richard III's death, a boy claiming to be a Yorkist prince appeared as if from nowhere. He said he was Richard III's heir and the rightful King of England. In 1487, in a unique ceremony, this boy was crowned in Dublin Cathedral. Using new discoveries, little-known evidence and insight, John Ashdown-Hill seeks the truth behind the 500-year-old story of the boy-king crowned in Dublin.
