Theme: The Wars of the Roses and/or Richard III specifically

Are you prepared to run it? No

Suggested books, if you have them already:

Daughter of Time, Josephine Tey (does that count, as it's not really set in that time)
Richard III, Shakespeare
The Sunne in Splendour, Sharon Kay Penman

Wars of the Roses in fiction (last updated in 2004, this is an archive.org cache)
An excellent R3 list is here, although it includes fiction during other medieval British rulers' reigns as well.

I am sure others have read more fiction set in this era, but this is a start from what I am familiar with as mainly a reader of non-fiction.
