After 500 years of fervent debate by traditional historians and revisionists alike, the mystery of King Richard III and the murder of his nephews, Edward, Prince of Wales, and Richard, Duke of York, has now reached another milestone in the realm of critical analysis.
In Royal Blood, Bertram Fields applies modern courtroom techniques to uncover the hidden truths surrounding the events described in Shakespeare's infamous play.
Dispelling the political and cultural biases of the past, Fields attempts to answer the captivating questions that are fundamental in the case: Did Richard murder the two "tender princes", or was he victim of Tudor spin doctors?

  Bertram Fields - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bertram Fields is a Harvard-trained lawyer famous for his work in the field of entertainment law; he has represented many of the leading studios, as well as individual celebrities including The Beatles, Warren Beatty, James Cameron, Tom Cruise, Dustin Hoffman, and John Travolta.
Fields says DNA analyses of the bones dug up in the Tower of London in 1674 would change the odds on whether the princes were murdered but might not affect the odds on who did it, if anyone did, so this mystery may never be solved.
Bertram Fields, a long-time client of private investigator Anthony Pellicano, has repeatedly been connected to the ongoing federal wiretapping investigation of Pellicano in the press because of allegations that his celebrity clients have benefited from the former PI's alleged illegal wiretaps directed against members of the media and prominent critics.

In subsequent chapters, Fields weaves together a re-telling of the events of Richard's life and an analysis of the available evidence, in which he looks at these four factors as well as the reliability of the sources.
Fields' letters on behalf of his clients have been described as "notoriously stinging." Echoes of this can be found in some of his comments about Alison Weir, whose 1992 book, The Princes in the Tower, raised U.S. Ricardian hackles when it was released here in 1994 and has annoyed us ever since.

Others believe that he is the real Shakespeare but that his past had been invented in order to make his life and road to celebrity more "dramatic," a signature trait of one who valued drama so much that he lovingly satirized it.

Fields puts me in an awkward position, as I certainly do not want to defend the more egregious statements against Scientology by some German politicians.
Fields now says he did not mean the entire 1930s, just 1933 and 1934, which is a curiously foreshortened definition of "the 1930s." It is all the more curious since the Open Letter goes on to state: "This organized oppression [of Scientologists] is beginning to sound…like the Germany of 1936."
Fields thinks that such treatment is being meted out to Scientologists in today's Germany, he is simply misinformed.

Bertram Fields is a lawyer and turns his analytical skills on both the 15th/16th century chronicles and the modern works of the 'Traditionalists' (who hold Richard guilty of the murders, and the 'Revisionists' (who acts as advocates of Richard).
The standard argument against Bertram Fields' approach will be that Historians can adopt a 'balance of probabilities' test whilst modern courts are meant to hold with the 'beyond reasonable doubt' principle.
Another objection is that Bertram fields does not tell the reader anything new and on page 307 (1998 hardback edition) he has to admit that

Fields sprinkles this erudite look at 15th-century England with enough informative asides to make the complexities of the Wars of the Roses a little less overwhelming (e.g., the swashbuckling Sir Edward Brampton was the first Jew ever to be knighted).
It is true that she has been known to wildly distort fact in favor of her own theories, and her conclusions are nothing short of ridiculous, and it is annoying that she claims to have solved the mystery when so many others have failed, but his own work suffers from his constant focus on Weir.
The simple fact is that Fields hasn't perjured himself in this witness stand, Richard had less motive to kill his nephews than Henry VII, Richards succesor and the first monarch of the Tudor Dynasty for whom we have to thank for the evil and twisted image we have of the last Plantagenet King of England.
