This is another novel about the life and times of Richard III, from the aspect of a young maiden who bore his bastard daughter. Related in four voices: the maiden, a court jester, a knight who rode w/ Richard, and again the voice of the maiden who is now a nun. Many of incidents are historically accurate, in agreement with some of the other novels I've read; but this book was not as engagingly told - did not compare w/ A Rose for the Crown, or even come close to Sunne in Splendour.

Book description

Tudor propagandists (Shakespeare among them), began vilifying Richard III even before his death in 1485. But in more recent times, historians and scholars began to uncover the truth about this noble and tragically misunderstood figure. Historical novelist Rosemary Hawley Jarman contradicted the traditional bad image of Richard III in We Speak No Treason, which tells Richard's story from the point of view of three people who knew and loved him. We Speak No Treason reveals how rumors and propaganda can easily obscure the truth of history.
