The Last Rebel: After Bosworth: Lovell Fights on

Francis Lovell #2

by Nigel Green

Richard III’s death at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 is traditionally regarded as the final chapter in the Wars of the Roses ending the decades of conflict between the Houses of York and Lancaster.

So decisive was that battle that its victor, Henry Tudor, might well have believed there would be little opposition when he seized the throne of England as Henry VII.
There was, however, one man who refused to accept the verdict of Bosworth. A man who was not only loyal to the memory of his dead friend, Richard III, but also to the promise he had made to him: to overthrow the usurper Tudor and recapture the crown for the House of York.

This, then, is the story of Francis Lovell after Bosworth and his mission to honour the vow he had made to Richard III.

I did enjoy reading this although it was a bit tough going for me near the end. The characters were interesting enough and the story was good. I found this one in a charity shop so I haven't read the first one yet but that didn't seem to have much effect on the story

Marginally better than the first installment. Interesting characters and some good relationships. Maybe the fact that it was total fiction with historical people made the difference dune nobody knows what happened to Francis Lovell after Richard's defeat.
