Summary: Scholarship at its best
Comment: An excellent study of medieval "affinities." There is much in this work that is new to the study of Richard III, and all that is here is enlightening. Highly recommended for scholars of the period.

Rating: 5
Summary: A must for the serious medivalist
Comment: This intelligent, academic work should be in the collection of anyone who wants to understand the medieval concepts of lordship and service. Richard's reign, especially as "Lord of the North," is used to exemplify many important issues surrounding medieval administration. Highly recommended.

Rating: 2
Summary: Not for those interested in the debates surrounding Richard
Comment: Horrox writes a scholarly study of Richard, the administrator, dry, but interesting no doubt to those who like that sort of thing. Those interested in the debates surrounding Richard--was he a murder? a usurper?--will be disappointed. Horrox does not share that interest. She also finds correct reasoning difficult, as well as unconducive to making the points she wishes to make, taking four mortal pages near the beginning of the book to argue in a complete circle.

The book's information will be of great interest and usefulness to a limited audience; those not interested in the details of Richard's administration will not become so by reading this verbose book.
