Royal Bastards: Rise of the Tudors

This is a really enjoyable retelling of key elements in the rise of Henry Tudor through the critical influence of Margaret Beaufort. However, what really detracts from this is how heavily biased this is to the Tudor narrative, and doesn't explain that bias at any point.

The most ridiculous element has to be how they present the mystery of the princes in the tower. As far as this telling goes, Richard had them murdered in cold blood. No conjecture, no mystery - "Richard did it". Nothing about what Beaufort gained with them being out of the way (i.e. Tudor's claim to the throne).

There's also no mention of the Woodville influence in the mix. The timeline is fast and loose, they don't explain the mood of court....the list of critical omissions is endless. But nevertheless it'd enjoyable historical fiction.
