Richard III
In honor of Richard III's remains being located, I overcame my disinclination toward reading biographies of monarchs and looked for an objective study on the fella. After more digging for said objectivity than you would believe possible, I landed on Ross's book, not a straightforward A-Z biography but an unconventional thematic study of Richard's life and short reign, and the late medieval period in which he lived and died.
Ross thoroughly covers the sources, available scholarship and popular views of Richard, and events, evenhandedly and with occasional flashes of dry wit. The book is not for the medievally uninitiated and Ross does not stop to bring you up to speed, so I found myself diving for the dusty college reference books more than once. Nevertheless, it was worth the work. In short, it's doubtful I will be joining the Richard III Society any time soon.
