Walpole's work focuses on the crimes supposed to have been committed by Richard III, in particular the murders of Henry VI; Henry VI's son Edward; his brother George, duke of Clarence; Edward V and his brother Richard; his own queen, and others; and examines, and in some cases invalidates, the evidence for these accusations. Louis XVI's translation contains numerous corrections, made during the last years of his life
