Whether, however, he has been done away with and by what manner of death, so far I have not at all discovered. July 15: The Duke of Buckingham becomes Constable of the Tower September: Buckingham s Rebellion Supports Henry Tudor, suggesting the Princes were believed dead 11
12 The Princes in the Tower: Edward V and Richard of York 12
13 The Suspects: Richard III ( ) Royal Descent: Younger brother of the late Edward IV, uncle of Edward V. House of York descended from the 2 nd &4 th sons of Edward III The Evidence: The confession of Sir James Tyrell during Henry VII s reign. The rumours circulating among foreign diplomats of the period The Motive: Removal of rival candidates to the throne The Opportunity: As King of England, Richard had the power to decide the fate of the Princes The Defense: Richard III had already discredited Edward V by declaring him illegitimate. Historians Who Think Him Guilty: Rosemary Horrox, David Starkey, Alison Weir 13
14 The Suspects: Henry Stafford, 2 nd Duke of Buckingham ( ) Royal Descent: Descended from Edward III s 5 th son, Thomas of Woodstock The Evidence: Contemporary document stating that the Princes were killed on the vise of the Duke of Buckingham, French envoy s remarks. Criticism of Richard III s character coincides with Buckingham s prominence The Motive: Removing claimants to the throne before Buckingham s rebellion of 1483 The Opportunity: Buckingham was appointed Constable of the Tower in the summer of 1483 The Defense: Buckingham s remote place in the succession, the risk of acting alone Historians Who Think Him Guilty: Paul Murray Kendall 14
15 The Suspects: Henry VII ( ) Royal Descent: Henry s father, Edmund Tudor was a maternal half brother of Henry VI. Henry s mother, Margaret Beaufort, was descended from Edward III s 3 rd son The Evidence: Failure to explicitly accuse Richard or Buckingham, target of plots during his reign by Elizabeth Woodville The Motive: After becoming king, Henry married Elizabeth of York and restored her legitimacy. The Princes had to be dead for their sister Elizabeth to be the senior Yorkist claimant The Opportunity: Limited as he was based in France during Richard III s reign but had prominent supporters in England The Defence: Lack of opportunity, never accused in any contemporary sources Historians Who Think Him Guilty: Sir Clement Markham, 15 author of "Richard III: A Doubtful Verdict Reviewed"
16 The Death of Anne Neville & King s Reputation Elizabeth of York, Richard III s niece [Already by Christmas 1484] it was said by many that the king was applying his mind in every way to contracting a marriage with [his niece] Elizabeth, either after the death of the queen or by means of a divorce for which he believed he had sufficient grounds. He saw no other way of confirming the crown and dispelling the hopes of his rival [Henry Tudor]. A few days later the queen began to be seriously ill and her sickness was then believed to have got worse and worse because the king himself was completely spurning his consort s bed. Therefore he judged it right to consult with doctors About the middle of the following March (1485) Queen Anne died and was buried at Westminster the king was compelled to make his excuses at length, saying that such a thing had never entered his mind Shortly before Easter, therefore, the king, in the presence of the mayor at the citizens of London, in a clear loud voice, carried out fully the advice to make a denial of this kind as many people believed, more by the will of these counsellors than his own. the Croyland Chronicle. 16
17 Henry Tudor and Opposition to Richard III [Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond] was paid just enough money for the passage of 3 or 4000 men. The present king [of France, Charles VIII] gave those who were with him a large sum of money and some artillery. He was taken by ship from Normandy to land in his native Wales. King Richard marched to meet him, but the Earl of Richmond was joined by Lord Stanley, and English knight and husband of the earl s mother, with reinforcements numbering more than 26,000 men. A battle was fought. King Richard was killed on the battlefield and the Earl of Richmond was crowned King of England on the field with Richard s crown. Philippe de Commines, French diplomat 17
18 The Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 King Richard fell in the field, struck by many mortal wounds, as a bold and most valiant prince. The Crowland Chronicle 18
19 The King s Reputation Monstrous: Richard, the third son, of whom we now entreat, was in wit and courage equal with either of them, in body and prowess far under them both: little of stature, ill-featured of limbs, crookbacked, his left shoulder much higher than his right, hard favoured of visage, and such as it is in states called warlike, in other men otherwise. He was malicious, wrathful, envious, and from afore his birth, ever [perverse]. Thomas More Misunderstood: In the belief that many features of the traditional accounts of the character and career of Richard III are neither supported by sufficient evidence nor reasonably tenable, the Society aims to promote, in every possible way, research into the life and times of Richard III, and to secure a reassessment of the material relating to this period, and of the role of this monarch in English history. Mission Statement of the Richard III Society 19

21 What the Remains Say About Richard III Height: 5 7 to 5 9 Health: Scoliosis developed in adolescence, roundworm infection Diet: A high protein diet including plenty of seafood Cause of Death: "The most likely injuries to have caused the king's death are the two to the inferior aspect of the skull a large sharp force trauma possibly from a sword or staff weapon, such as a halberd or bill, and a penetrating injury from the tip of an edged weapon. Richard's head injuries are consistent with some near-contemporary accounts of the battle, which suggest that Richard abandoned his horse after it became stuck in a mire and was killed while fighting his enemies.
