NEW WINE OUT AN OLD BOTTLE On a recent visit to Middleham Castle, which was known as the Windsor of the North in its day, I noticed that the English Heritage bookshop was full of novels and sensationalist histories of Richard III, some of them inspired by the re-discovery of the King's skeleton under that car-park in Leicester in 2012. There was no copy of Ross's biography for sale. There is an old maxim which advises that, when a new book appears about something, you should read or re-read an old one. So I went back to Ross, despite the inviting covers on display in Middleham.The book is masterly, in the traditional academic way. There is a panoply of footnotes; and this will put some people off. My advice is to read it.It has made me change my mind about Richard. I used to think he was a tyrant, rightly condemned as such in his day, and by historians as eminent as Maurice Keen; and Ross shows very well how the idea that it was Tudor historians and Shakespeare who first condemned him is a myth. But, to my mind, he also shows how 'the answer lies in the soil' or land, which was the basis of all power in late medieval England. So, Edward III conferred vast estates on Richard, especially during the years 1471-83, making Richard the most powerful man in the land, and above all in the North of England; and he also appointed him Protector of his eldest son, the ill-fated Edward V. Richard's position was put in jeopardy, however, by virtue of the fact that Edward also favoured his wife, Elizabeth Woodville, and her family, the Rivers. We cannot be sure, but it is plausible to see Richard's seizure, first of power, and then of the throne, in 1483, as a pre-emptive strike, because he feared that the Rivers family would try to 'rub him out' first. Once he had been crowned King, there was a backlash from the Southern gentry, in the revolt known as Buckingham's Rebellion. These men were not Lancastrians, but Yorkists loyal to Edward V. Richard was able to put the revolt down, but then relied overmuch on Northern gentlemen within his affinity to rule the Southern counties, where they were greatly resented. Finally, as we all know, one of the most powerful Northerners, Stanley, deserted him on the battlefield at Bosworth.On this view, it all comes down to land, not character. It is not necessary to see Richard as uniquely evil or tyrannical. He was behaving pretty much as we would expect a medieval landowner, with connections at the highest level of government, to behave. So is it 'tout comprendre est tout pardonner?' Not quite; but more or less.This brief resume does not do justice to the book, or the quality of Ross's research. He shows how a patient prosopographical approach, rathe than the blind faith which inspires so many writers about Richard III, pays large dividends.Ross wrote the book in the 1980s; and this edition dates from 1999. In an Introduction Ralph Griffiths shows that there was not much that was new which came to light in between those dates; and he also gives a fascinating history and appraisal of the Richard III Society and its contribution to Ricardian studies. Has anything happened since 1999, which would make us change our mind about Ross's views? Well, the view [p 139] that there was no reliable evidence that Richard was hunchbacked' clearly need to be modified in the light of the discovery of his deformed skeleton in 2012; and likewise the view [see map at p 219] that the battle of Bosworth was fought around Ambien Hill almost certainly needs to be changed in the light of recent battlefield archaeology [see Bosworth 1485, Glenn Foard & Anne Curry, Oxbow Books 2013); but in the main, Ross stands up very well; and deserves to be regarded as the most readable and reliable account of the King's life that we have.
