This controversial study argues that although Richard was indeed guilty of, or implicated in, most, if not all of the crimes of which he has been accused, this ruthless, inscrutable man was also very religious, an austere practitioner of a chivalrous code of ethics, a public benefactor and protector of the Church, a founder of chantries and a follower of a strict, puritanical code of sexual morality.

In this controversial new study, Hughes (history and English, Edward's School, Oxford) argues that although Richard was indeed guilty of, or implicated in, most, if not all of the crimes of which he has been accused, he was also a very religious man, an austere practitioner of a chivalric code of ethics, a public benefactor and protector of the Church, a founder of chantries, and one who in his public pronouncements upheld a strict, puritanical code of sexual morality.
