SYNOPSIS:  In the turbulent years of Richard III's monarchy a man needed quick wits and a ready blade to succeed at Court.  Richard's claim to the throne was in question; rumours abounded on the fate of the Princes in the Tower; and in France Henry Tudor cast greedy eyes at England's crown.  To succeed - to survive - a man needed wits as sure and swift as his sword.  Such a man was Henry Morane, trusted agent of Richard III.  It was Morane that the king entrusted the investigation of the Princes' disappearance; the attempted kidnap of Henry Tudor; the testing of Richard's supporters.  Morane followed his king with unswerving devotion, through the dangerous years to the final bloody Battle of Bosworth Field.
