1. The royal family in 1484: Queen Anne Neville, King Richard III, and Edward of Middleham, Prince of Wales. Engraving of 1844, after the Rous Roll.
2. Queen Anne Neville’s grave was originally marked by a brass memorial in the Abbey Church at Westminster. This lost monument – the only brass memorial to a queen in England – may once have carried a figure similar to that shown in one version of the contemporary Rous Roll.
3. Nowadays Anne’s place of burial is marked only by a plaque with this modern brass shield displaying her coat of arms.
4. The Gatehouse of the Priory of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem (Knights Hospitaller), Clerkenwell. Richard III came here on Wednesday 30 March 1485, possibly to perform the royal ritual of touching for the ‘King’s Evil’, and issued a public denial of rumours that he planned to marry his illegitimate niece, Elizabeth of York.
5. The seal of Richard III’s nephew, John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln. (© Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service)
6. Richard III’s nephew, Edward of Clarence, Earl of Warwick. Engraving of 1859, after the Rous Roll.
7. Richard III’s nieces (the four eldest surviving daughters of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville): Elizabeth, Cecily, Anne and Catherine. Fifteenth-century stained glass from Little Malvern Priory, Worcs. (© Geoffrey Wheeler). Unlike the figures from the Royal Window at Canterbury (which have been heavily restored), these are authentic contemporary representations of Richard III’s nieces.
8. Copy of Richard III’s earliest surviving portrait. © The Dean and Chapter of Leicester.
9. Richard III’s preferred prospective bride, Infanta Joana of Portugal (© Geoffrey Wheeler). Redrawn from the portrait attributed to Nuño Gonçalves in the Museu de Aveiro.

11. Henry VI as a saint, from the fifteenth-century rood screen, Eye church, Suffolk.
12. A medieval Corpus Christi procession: a bishop, walking beneath a canopy, carries the Host in a monstrance.

15. Kenilworth Castle, where Richard III stayed in May–June 1485. Engraving of 1829.
16. The approach to the hunting lodge, Bestwood Park (Sherwood Forest), where Richard III stayed for about a week in mid-August 1485. (© John Beres)

20. The supposed bed of Richard III from the Blue (White?) Boar Inn, Leicester, now displayed at Donington-le-Heath Manor House. Despite its Ricardian attribution, this bed, as now preserved, appears significantly later in date. (© Sally Henshaw. Image courtesy of the Richard III Society East Midlands Branch)
21. Chair from Coughton Court, Warwickshire, reputed to be made of wood from Richard III’s camp bed. (© NT/Simon Pickering)
22. Old Bow Bridge, Leicester. Engraving of 1861.
23. The author’s tentative reconstruction of the Leicester Greyfriars church, seen from the north, in the fifteenth century.
24. Tracery from a choir window of the Leicester Greyfriars church, discovered in August 2012. This tracery comes from a window similar to those shown in plate 23.
25. Alabaster tomb effigy of Richard III’s brother-in-law, John de la Pole. Duke of Suffolk, Wingfield Church, Suffolk, c. 1495. Richard III’s tomb of 1494–95 at the Leicester Greyfriars was probably very similar in appearance.
26. Richard III’s epitaph from Sir Thomas Wriothesley’s manuscript of c. 1510, BL, Add. MS 45131, f. 10v. (© British Library)
27. Richard III’s epitaph from Thomas Hawley’s manuscript of c. 1535, College of Arms, MS I 3, f. 4. (© College of Arms)
