Changes

AH: 10. I'm in the early stages of an alternative history novel which premises that Richard III won at Bosworth, killing Henry Tudor. The issues are: what kind of king would Richard have been had he lived longer? How would he have handled those who had been prepared to betray him? And what would his relationship have been with France, whose government had supported his challenger with men and money? I've done a lot of reading already, and again, this venture has an origin far back in the past. As a boy I read Josephine Tey's wonderful novel ''The Daughter of Time'' – a powerful incentive not to take as gospel what my history teachers told me.
