I was just wondering about something to ask the people that think that we are all completely off our rockers about Richard, those that believe that More, Vergil and Shakespeare's work can be taken as gospel and that he had the Princes smothered. What is crueler: Killing a child/children in their sleep as Richard allegedly had done to the Princes or raising a child in total isolation in prison until they are old enough to execute on a trumped-up charge of treason as Henry Tudor did to Edward, Earl of Warwick?

Probably some people do think we are off our rockers but there are an awful lot more who are interested in this person Richard 111 and that can only be for the good...the more the merrier.I do not believe Richard would ever contemplate murdering his nephews.He'd just lost his own son, never in a million years would any normal person want to put someone else through that and how did he feel for his mother and George...? Anne and he then take Edward and Margaret to live with them but when Anne dies do they still live with him.....?I don't know. If they didn't I wouldn't blame him.....possibly too many memories and the pressures/responsibilities of State would not allow it.

As for the treatment of Edward, Earl of Warwick by Henry Tudor.....absolutely disgraceful.

Sorry I seem to be a little confused with the actual events.ie the disapperance of the boys and the death of Richard's Edward.I still think Richard would not murder his own nephews.(all he saw /experienced when he was growing up)he seems to have been the peace maker in the family.

But, but, but....Tudors!!! Doug (who even so regards E1 as a very good politician/ruler - at least compared to the rest of her family)

I don't think that he murdered his nephews, but that is an argument that no one is really going to win. I just think that what was done to Edward of Warwick was far worse.
