    History is often written by the victors. Following that logic, it would make sense that Richard was written about in a dark light. As stated in the video, most monarchs during this time were neither good nor bad, but sort of just did what they could to hold onto their power and survive.

    I think Richard, given half the chance, would have made a great king. He had noble plans to make England a peaceful country. He had plans to feed his people fairly. Share wealth evenly to ensure the economy grew.
    But he wasn’t given the chance to put forth his ideas into action.

So James` daughter Elizabeth lost both her Father and husband within minutes of eachother which was somewhat unfortunate, but by way of consolation she got to marry Alex Iden who is sometimes credited with running down Cade. So at least she got something out of it...

    I have a 10th great grand father, Robert Abell, 1605-1663 who was a descendant of Edward I, through his mother Frances Elizabeth Cotton.
    But It's taken me til now to fully understand how Edward became king. God this is confusing when you're actually a descendant of someone notable It changes the whole way you see history
    3:00:00 Blore-Heath is my umpteenth grandfather. I'm too tired to look it up in my tree and type it out .

    Henry VI would, had he been anointed king in modern times, been likened to George VI. He treated his wife better than most men of any time and was treated badly for seeking her council which today would be considered natural.
    Like Abraham Lincoln he pardoned freely any man sentenced to death as like Lincoln, bloodshed and the duty of signing death warrants was repugnant to him personally.
    Like Edward The Confessor he was pious and tried hard to live in Christ's example...a hard thing for any monarch to do.
    He should be called Good King Henry rather than Henry The Mad. If kindness and gentleness be Mad than we xould do with many more Mad rulers.
    Henry is in every way the opposite of his ancestor John The Bad. So why not call him Henry The Good?

    This history lesson was wonderful. However, the fact that for many many years, Richard III was potrayed as a vilian and in a case of child murder, it becomes so hard to see the other side of him being a good person. You see if the murder or disappearance of the boys was not under his rule, we would be arguing a different perspective about him. I just cannot unsee it. As a mother, we all wonder how Elizabeth Woodville might have gone through.

      If they were killed at all, it was likely perpetrated by the Duke of Buckingham for his own regal ambitions. It's more likely that Richard secreted them to his sister in Burgundy. That urn likely contains children from 2,000 years ago, based on the fact that the bones were found 10 feet deep. No grave was dug to that depth, especially under a stone staircase. The grave was more likely already present before William the Conqueror built the White Tower.

      It was entirely normal for Royalty in those days. Royal children were invariably brought up by noblewomen until they were handed over to a male nobleman to be educated in the case of a male heir and to prepare him for his future role.

    I am uncertain what to really think of King Richard III, but I don't think that he killed his nephews, that I put more with King Henry VII when the Titus regulus was revoked so Henry could marry Elizabeth of York. Putting it in that frame then Richard III could like many people then and now could have been very badly misunderstood looking at each medieval king trying to do what he thought was best for England, trying to out do their predecessors.

    ya cannot argue ah benevolence on the part of
    Richard the 3rd. Edward the 4th was likely
    poisoned by a very good practitioner. his heir(s)
    were underage,quickly killed&a military
    dictatorship was begun,miraculously,by the
    person whom,up to that time,had most of the
    military under his control. replace English names
    with Roman names&everyone would only come
    to one,clear conclusion.

    The princes in the tower could just as easily have died of any of the illnesses rampant in their time. Similarly, they could have been killed by someone who thought they were furthering Richard's cause, but without his knowledge or consent. Regardless of how they died, and even if Richard was in no wise to blame, he must have known that he would have been blamed for their deaths in any case. It would have been ironic if they had died of some fever or other "natural cause." Then again, it would make sense in terms of the reign of Henry VI and the power struggles surrounding the infant king, that having another underage king would have prolonged the instabilities and infighting that had been going on since Henry VI's infancy. For an adult Richard to have taken the throne would have brought stability. If he could have neutralized Stanley, he might have been able to pull it off.

    What about the people that really sorted stuff out. The engineers and inventors of the time. The people that made it all possible. Why do historians just concentrate of a few people at the top? Is it to maintain the myth of royalty and so we end up with Charles a man totally unworthy of the role of king, a protector of the defrocked sex offender Bishop Ball?
