Description:
The legend of Blondel is well known, but the actual facts about Richard's captivity under Leopold of Austria and Henry VI are more obscure. In this popular history David Boyle sifts myth from history to reconstruct the European political background which led to Richard's capture, and the means by which such a huge ransom was raised to buy his freedom. "A compelling and fascinating read" - Alison Weir
