about

Richard III
2nd October 1452 - 22nd August 1485

Richard was King of England from 1483-1485 and he was the last King of the House of York. He was defeated by Henry VII at the battle of Bosworth on August 22nd 1485. This battle ended the Wars of the Roses and also the Plantagenet dynasty. Thus began the reign of the Tudors.

When his brother Edward IV died, Richard became protector to his brother's two children, Edward and Richard. However, Richard declared his brother's marriage to Elizabeth Woodville invalid thereby denying Edward V (due to be crowned on 22nd June 1483) and his brother Richard their legitimacy to the throne of England. There is much speculation regarding their disappearance and untimely end. Richard was crowned on 6th July 1483.
