Page "Bert Fields" Paragraph 13

::" Alison Weir tells her readers that she, at last, has solved the mystery: Richard was guilty.

What's more, he was a greedy, ruthless tyrant.

However, if Richard was guilty, nothing in Weir's book demonstrates it.

Essentially, her ' proof ' that he murdered his nephews consists of two skeletons discovered in the Tower of London in 1674, some inferences wholly unsupported by the ' evidence ' she offers and the opinions and assertions of ' contemporary ' sources such as John Rous and Thomas More, which Weir is inclined to treat as proven fact.
