But <strong>Richard has other plans<\/strong> and wants the throne for himself. With the help of his loyal ally Buckingham, he has his brother George killed, and his older brother Edward dies soon after. Edward\u2019s son is too young to rule, so Richard steps in as <strong>regent<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Richard <strong>marries Lady Anne<\/strong>, whose husband he killed in battle, declares Edward\u2019s sons illegitimate, and is crowned king. Quickly becoming bitter and power-mad, he <strong>orders the murder of his nephews<\/strong> in the Tower of London, his ally Buckingham, and even his wife Anne. To secure his claim, he plans to marry his niece Elizabeth.<\/p><p>Meanwhile, the <strong>last survivor of the Lancastrian line, Richmond<\/strong>, gathers forces to challenge Richard. The night before their battle, Richard is haunted by the ghosts of his victims. Weakened, he loses the battle and is <strong>killed by Richmond<\/strong>, who is crowned King Henry VII and marries Elizabeth, uniting the Houses of Lancaster and York and beginning the <strong>Tudor dynasty<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-915f37f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"915f37f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1bb8a15\" data-id=\"1bb8a15\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6063af1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6063af1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Main characters<\/h2><h3>Richard (Duke of Gloucester)<\/h3><ul><li>physically deformed<\/li><li>intelligent and charismatic<\/li><li>Manipulative and mendacious<\/li><li>brutal<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>More about Richard as the villain in <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grin.com\/document\/201795\">Villain or hero? &#8211; Shakespeare&#8217;s image of Richard III<\/a>:<\/p><p>Although most of the time the reliable sources revise their opinion about this monarch a few paragraphs later, the first impression on the history-interested person is made.

His death <strong>ended the Wars of the Roses<\/strong>. Thanks to Shakespeare\u2019s play, Richard has a <strong>lasting negative reputation<\/strong>. But what really happened? What\u2019s myth, and what\u2019s reality?<\/p><p>Richard was born the youngest of eight sons, though only four survived. As a member of the 300-year ruling Plantagenet dynasty, his father had a legitimate claim to the English throne, which was held at the time by <strong>King Henry VI<\/strong> of the<strong> Lancastrian line<\/strong>, another branch of the Plantagenets. In 1461, Henry VI was overthrown, and Richard\u2019s oldest brother Edward IV took power.<\/p><p>Unlike in the play, Richard was probably a <strong>loyal subject to his older brother.<\/strong> After Edward IV\u2019s death, he supported his nephew and served as <strong>Lord Protector<\/strong>. Modern historians disagree on Richard\u2019s shady reputation, which many attribute to <strong>unclear historical records from the Tudor era<\/strong>. It turns out he <strong>likely didn\u2019t commit most of the crimes<\/strong> he\u2019s accused of. It\u2019s also still unknown if he was responsible for the deaths of his two nephews, the <strong>princes in the Tower<\/strong>.<\/p><p>The image of Richard as a cripple isn\u2019t accurate either. Contemporary descriptions call him a <strong>slight man<\/strong>, and recent studies show he had <strong>scoliosis<\/strong>, not a deformity.<\/p><p>There\u2019s no concrete evidence that Richard was the brutal and manipulative man the play portrays. We don\u2019t know Shakespeare\u2019s intentions for this depiction, but he lived and wrote during the reign of Elizabeth I\u2014a Tudor. It\u2019s possible he wrote this play as entertainment for the ruling family\u2019s rivals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7ad7d6b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7ad7d6b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cfd18d1\" data-id=\"cfd18d1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12ef2df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"12ef2df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Themes, motifs, and symbols<\/h2><h3>Richard&#8217;s appearance<\/h3><p>Shakespeare\u2019s &#8220;Richard III&#8221; is one of literature\u2019s quintessential villains.
