The definitive biography and assessment of the wily and formidable prince who unexpectedly became monarch - the most infamous king in British history
The reign of Richard III, the last Yorkist king and the final monarch of the Plantagenet dynasty, marked a turning point in British history. But despite his lasting legacy, Richard only ruled as king for the final two years of his life. While much attention has been given to his short reign, Michael Hicks explores the whole of Richard’s fascinating life and traces the unfolding of his character and career from his early years as the son of a duke to his violent death at the battle of Bosworth.
Hicks explores how Richard - villainized for his imprisonment and probable killing of the princes - applied his experience to overcome numerous setbacks and adversaries. Richard proves a complex, conflicted individual whose Machiavellian tact and strategic foresight won him a kingdom. He was a reformer who planned big changes, but lost the opportunity to fulfill them and to retain his crown.

Old “short shrift” himself.

The “princes in the tower” were seen numerous times AFTER Richard was killed at Bosworth. He had brought them to London for the coronation of the elder of the brothers and housed at the royal apartment in the Tower of London.
It was more likely Henry VII had the boys killed. He wanted to marry their sister, but she and her brothers had been decreed as bastards. If he overturned the bastardy decree, that would also make the boys legitimate heirs to the throne.
Richard had no reason to have the boys killed. Henry VII did and it was a reason why he reacted the s*it-scared way he did when Perkin Warbeck turned up claiming to be one of the brothers who had escaped.

There were indeed people being opportunistically presented afterwards as the princes, for obvious, expedient purposes. Richard’s motive in murdering them was to remove rival claimants & alternative loci of legitimate power.
And you really shouldn’t be calling people bastards.
