To Know a Lion by His Claws: The Secret Story of Englands Uncrowned King
For five hundred years, Richard III has been accused of murdering his brother's sons for the throne of England though not one record has ever proven the alleged crime. His nephews did, however, disappear. The summer of 1483 has remained as one of London's most chaotic and secretive periods in history because the truth of those turbulent months is still shrouded with falsehoods. Divine intervention provided a clue that undeniably suggested that the sons of Edward IV had lived, but they now had to be found. As cream comes to the top of the milk, so did these two princes rise in European society of the fifteenth century. How could it have been otherwise when they had each been groomed from childhood to be a prince? It is rather the secretive historical times in which they lived that confused the senses and had everyone still groping in the dark when in all reality they surfaced very quickly in their exiled façade. But to reveal their identity would bring the full vengeance of the new Tudor Regime upon them. One did and was condemned a traitor; the other remained silent except for his raging pen against the ills of the medieval world. He called himself Erasmus, but could he really have been England's missing king, Edward V?
