Book excerpt: In this controversial new study, Hughes argues that although Richard was indeed guilty of, or implicated in, most, if not all of the crimes of which he has been accused, this ruthless, inscrutable man was also very religious, an austere practitioner of a chivalric code of ethics, a public benefactor and protector of the Church, a founder of charities, one who in his public pronouncements upheld a strict, puritanical code of sexual morality in marked contrast to many of his fellow courtiers.
