Secret 9 - Historical books (England)

[Picture is the covers of the books "The Daughter of Time", by Josephine Tey, "The White Queen", by Philippa Gregory and "The Sunne in Splendor", by Sharon Penman. The first one has a white rose and a red rose growing out of a metallic crown?, the second one a woman with light skin and long braided blonde hair dressed in the finery of a queen, and the third one has many soldiers fighting in the background and many spears flying around and poking out of both sides of the picture, with the stylized image of the Fleur-de-lis stamped three times in the background.]

It annoys me that the most popular novels about this era are written with strong Yorkist sympathies.

Bonus secret: I think most Ricardians are delusional.

Wikipedia tells me that:

Yorkist = redirects to "House of York"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkist

and

Ricardians are people interested in altering the posthumous reputation of Richard III, King of England (reigned 1483–1485). Richard III has long been portrayed unfavourably, most notably in William Shakespeare's play Richard III. In an effort to turn this around and paint such characterizations as politically motivated, Ricardian historians' work has produced editions of documents from Richard's reign, research, and articles which have contributed to scholarship of England in the 1480s.
