THE HISTORY OF KING RICHARD III .
book . by sir thomas more
1. Between 1512 and 1519 More worked on a History of King Richard III, which he never finished but which was published after his death. The History is a Renaissance biography, remarkable more for its literary skill and adherence to classical precepts than for its historical accuracy.
2. Sir Thomas More (7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535), venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. He was also a Chancellor to Henry VIII, and Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to 16 May 1532.
“ As such time as he died, the displeasure of those that bore him grudges, whom he deposed. ”
“ By the cruelty, mischeif, and touble of the tempestuous world. ”
“ What goodly personage, and very princely to behold, of heart courageous. ”
“ What visage of lovely, of body mighty, strong, and clean made. ”
“ You have given into fleshy wantonness. ”
“ So deceased this noble king, in that time in which his life was most desired. ”
“ As women commonly not of malice but of nature hate them whome their husbands love. ”
“ He was hastily drowned in a butt of wine. ”
“ It was hard, I ween to guess. ”
“ You shall all see what wise that sorceress and that other witch of her counsel. ”
“ Now then by and by, as it were for anger not for courtesy… ”
“ Your great shame won you praise among those that were more amorous of your body than curious of your soul. ”
“ Three concubines; one the merriest, another the wiliest, the third the holiest. ”
“ Men spared in that point to speak all the truth for fear of his displeasure, ”
“ You are both fair, of a good favour, moderate of stature, well made and very wise. ”
“ A vile abominable strumpet. ”
