Richard of Conisbrough

More about the book

Set in Conisbrough Castle, the narrative centers on Richard of Conisbrough, a nobleman deeply connected to the castle's history. Presented as a play reminiscent of Shakespearean style, it serves as a prequel to Richard III, incorporating elements like the Southampton Plot, which Shakespeare referenced in Henry V. While it may not reach the Bard's level, the work features some clever passages and appeals to those familiar with Conisbrough's legacy, offering a unique retelling of Richard's life and character typical of Elizabethan drama.
