Summary
Born to be nobody.
Destined to be king.
Doomed to be a villain.
What matters?
Loyalty matters.
Loyalty Binds Me.
Artist Hans Holbein is summoned to the house of Sir Thomas More to receive the commission of a lifetime. He will leave with a secret that could cost him his life. He will learn the truth about the life of King Richard III, the man that the Tudor dynasty has been at great pains to villify. From his return from exile with his brother, King Edward IV, to his rise to become the king's most loyal, most trusted, and most powerful subject. From his flourishing personal life to his seizure of the throne from his nephew. This unfashionable truth is as nothing compared to the reason for hiding it.
Hans Holbein is about to be asked to hide England's greatest secret.
A secret that could tear apart the fragile Tudor regime.
More from the same

Too positive?
The character of Richard portrayed here makes you bemoan the rise of the Tudors and as such should any of this tale be true you can clearly see why the Tudors may have manipulated the truth. Very interesting at least, fascinating if you believe all of the tale

Loyalty by Matthew a Lewis
I have enjoyed this book immensely.Richard emerges as brave and loyal man not without faults,he has a temper and can be impatient but always loyal to his family and his close friends.Listening to the battle scenes I felt as if I was there, sharing in Richard's fear in his first battle as young man then the sadness in the final battle at Bosworth.I enjoyed the tender moments between him and Ann and his conversation with his baby son Edward in the church just after his birth.I like this Richard not perfect but a man of his time who tried always to do his best.Matthew I think offers varying ideas about the fate of the Princes,all of them creditable.Finally praise to the narrator who helped to bring Richard alive.I would love to see this transformed into a drama ,and why not.

good account of richard 111 life
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
this is a book for those that dont know too much about richard 111 but at the end there is very interesting information about historical facts
for me it was a bit tedious but this is not because it isnt a good book, but because i already knew all the facts . it is well written and the facts are acurate
What aspect of Nigel Carrington’s performance might you have changed?
he hesitates at times when the phraseology doesnt call for it, but not unpleasing
Could you see Loyalty being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
would make a good series but too long for a film as there would be too many cuts

Interesting
A good account of the life of Richard III. The author tries to show him in the best light and quite possibly he has been much maligned.

A little twist of More!
An interesting 3rd person observation adds a new twist to the Richard story. A super book, very sympathetically read with brilliant characterisation. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Exceptional story
I liked the development of Richard's character and the unfolding of the story from this point of view.
The authors attention to detail matched that of Richard. This made the impact of the twists and turns of the story so dramatic and tragic. I loved it!

Brilliant book from Matthew Lewis!
Matthew Lewis is brilliant. What an interesting theory. I love it.
He has done great research and written a wonderful book about Richard lll (my favourite king).
