The bloody Wars of the Roses between the Houses of Lancaster and
York ended with the killing of Richard III. With the recent
discovery of his skeleton, and the consequent controversy over his
final resting place, it is time to re-examine the life of Richard
as a duke and king. Was Richard the grotesque usurper and murderer
of the Princes in the Tower, as depicted by Shakespeare just over a
hundred years after his death in battle? Or has his name been
blackened over the years, as claimed by his apologists, the Richard
III Society? This biography sifts the contemporary evidence,
placing Richard in the context of his times, and assesses the other
candidates put forward to have killed the Princes in the Tower.
John Locke wrote that 'the actions of men are the best interpreters
of their thoughts' and upon this basis the investigation leads to
one conclusion.
