Historical Richard III
Richard III was born in 1452, the youngest son of Richard, Duke of York. He was a member of the House of York, which was engaged in a long-running civil war with the House of Lancaster for the English throne. Richard was a skilled military commander, and he played a key role in the Yorkist victory at the Battle of Towton in 1461. After the battle, Richard was made Duke of Gloucester by his brother, King Edward IV.
Richard became increasingly powerful during the reign of his brother. He was appointed Lord Protector of England in 1483, after Edward IV's death. Richard was suspected of murdering his nephews, Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, in the Tower of London. He was crowned king in 1483, but his reign was short-lived. He was defeated and killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 by Henry Tudor, who became Henry VII.
