"The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck: A Romance" by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is a historical novel published in 1830. Set after the Battle of Bosworth, it follows the fate of a young man claimed to be Richard, Duke of York, the supposedly murdered son of King Edward IV.

who support him, the novel explores loyalty, betrayal, and the human cost of power struggles in Tudor England. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
