This episode of The History of England dives into one of the most controversial figures in English history: Richard III. We explore the mystery of the Princes in the Tower—the two young sons of Edward IV who vanished in 1483. Who was Richard III? Was he the villain Shakespeare painted, or a capable ruler caught in a web of ambition and survival? We discuss the historical evidence: the Titulus Regius that declared Edward IV's marriage invalid, the disappearance of Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury, and the competing claims of Henry Tudor. We also look at the discovery of Richard's skeleton under a Leicester car park in 2012, which confirmed his scoliosis but not his guilt. Along the way, we cover the Battle of Bosworth Field, the role of the Woodville family, and the enduring mystery that keeps historians debating. Join Lucas and Luna as they untangle fact from legend in the final chapter of the Plantagenet dynasty.
