This book is dedicated to Philippa Langley and her colleagues in the Looking for Richard Project – John Ashdown-Hill, Annette Carson, and David and Wendy Johnson. Without their painstaking research and immense dedication, patience and perseverance, King Richard would probably never have been found – and this book might never have been written. My thanks to them all and to the many Ricardians and others who have helped in numerous ways.
About the author
A Ricardian since a teenager, and following stints as an archaeologist and in publishing, Alex now lives and works in King Richard’s own country, not far from his beloved York and Middleham. Much of this book was ‘seen’ and ‘heard’ while striding over the nearby heather-clad moors with a loyal hound, ‘rescued’ in the golden summer of 2012 and named, indecisively but Olympically, Milli Mo Ennis Ohuruogu Murray – Milli for short.
