Beginning with the flight from Bosworth Field, Mary Shelley takes the side of the young man history calls Perkin Warbeck, imagining him as Richard, Duke of York, the younger of the princes in the Tower, escaped and raised in secret. His claim draws in Elizabeth of York, the loyal Lady Brampton, the rising of Lambert Simnel and the courts of Burgundy, Ireland and Scotland.
