Not condoning what Richard did but looked what they did to lady Jane grey and others . British history is just like the game of thrones. It’s not good to have a king /heir alive if you want to see yourself on the throne
The difference there is that Lady Jane was (not by her own choice) the usurper. And Mary did spare her in the beginning. If not for Wyatt's rebellion, Jane wouldn't have been executed and even then Mary did that reluctantly. Richard was the usurper and likely had his nephews, who were children, murdered willingly. That would make anyone look like a complete villain
So did William the Conqueror, Henry I, Isabella of France on behalf of her son, a teenage Edward III, Henry IV, Edward IV, and Henry VII. It was a fairly common practice.
Okey if you think he js a tyrant maybe your right Maybe you aren't but after reading or watching "Richard III" see the show called "The White Queen" there he is depicted as someone honorable that despite the rumors loved his queen and married her not for money but for love. Is incredible seeing how different the Richard on this adaptation is compared to the Shakespeare tragedy.
He stole the crown and most likely killed the rightful king and yeah he used his role to help the people however he could have done the honorable thing and not steal the crown but do what his brother asked by helping them become great kings
@@Moose.-vy5ye are you uneducated or incapable of any level of understanding? this is a dumb reflection...wait let me guess Rivers and the rest of Woodville are all the reason for all discontent. lol
He was thrust into a struggle for the throne, his other brother Clarence, was killed in a vat of wine (probably a tall tale), and the Woodvilles that Edward IV let rise to power through his marriage to Elizabeth Woodville meant that they would have most likely made a claim to the throne, if Richard didn't. Why weren't the princes installed as the king? Because they were too young to rule, and therefore there was a struggle as to who would be their Protector, and Richard rightfully made a break to be the Protector. But he was wrong in (Most likely) killing the princes, who would have grown up to replace Richard as the Ruler of the Land if he hadn't have killed them.
His late brother king ordered Richard to be the the protector until his nephew came of age, but sadly he’d be labeled a pushover and irresponsible with the government had he let the Woodvilles ride off immediately after two family members seemed to take money from the treasury and run off with the young boy king, which looked like a seizure of the government to get him crowned immediately instead of wait at least two years, and that’d be run through the greedier adults instead of the boy. Richard took his responsibility seriously and parliament kept delaying the coronation by a month and the Woodvilles were against it, till the same priest on the council, who knew all three York brothers brought up the case of illigetimacy of the boys again like he did with George’s. The two factions of Parliament and another asked Richard to be king, which seems to me like a way of these other governing bodies of fighting dirty back to the Woodvilles playing dirty from day one… like it’s unfair to not consider that the Woodvilles instigated this, that it’s a shame to wander what would had happened had they obeyed the will of the late king instead of look like they’re seizing the kingdom and treat the response as a seizure. I feel like maybe unless the priest was that serious about the marriage, that saying it’s illegitimate could had been a way of diffusing the power struggle to put that much pressure over the boys. Richard lost his son Edward and named one of his nephew’s heir.He was also said to have raised his late brother’s two children.
OK now ....this is freaky! To see him speaking is so strange, a little bit chilling and yet very cool and amazing. I like it! LOL Thank you. 👍🏻😀
R.I.P King Richard the Third
Love it. The whole "Talking Heads" series is unique and fun to watch. Thank you😊
Love you Dickon……..Evening from London Jon xx
I am absolutely loving these!
Why was no member of the Royal Family present at his Re-interrnment ceremony. They appear to have totally ignored this last Plantegenant King
@@tonyhughes6088 because they are actually more German than English 😜
My beloved and only one King. ❤
Oooh, I love these so so much
But you didn’t have to cut me off 🎶🎤🤭

“I am a child killer and an usurper” - Richard III
Bet his child-nephews have something to say about him ... may they RIP
At least he still fought for York till the end.
He murdered 2 children, the Rightful King
@@beverlybalius9303 yeah but he was a York to
I don't believe he killed the little princes, nor ordered them killed.
@@Rose-jz6ix yeah I don’t think that either sometimes
@@Rose-jz6ixI DEFINITELY think he ordered them killed
He took the throne. He didnt ascend on the throne.
So did William the Conqueror, Henry I, Isabella of France on behalf of her son, a teenage Edward III, Henry IV, Edward IV, and Henry VII. It was a fairly common practice.
jane grey please
“Thrust into a struggle for the throne?” Umm, no.
Okey if you think he js a tyrant maybe your right Maybe you aren't but after reading or watching "Richard III" see the show called "The White Queen" there he is depicted as someone honorable that despite the rumors loved his queen and married her not for money but for love.

This looks so uncanny and scary
“Loyaulté me lie”
The glossed over the part of him killing his nephews and stealing the crown, but I guess this is based on his view of things.
Your view is simply wrong.
@@Moose.-vy5ye are you uneducated or incapable of any level of understanding? this is a dumb reflection...wait let me guess Rivers and the rest of Woodville are all the reason for all discontent. lol
Yes. What really happened to your nephews, Richard?
So you were "thrust" to a struggle for the throne? What a nice way to put it.
He was thrust into a struggle for the throne, his other brother Clarence, was killed in a vat of wine (probably a tall tale), and the Woodvilles that Edward IV let rise to power through his marriage to Elizabeth Woodville meant that they would have most likely made a claim to the throne, if Richard didn't.

He would say- “I lost them” lol
Ok, he murdered his two nephews...wtf...why are they trying to re-write history?
He killed his nephew s and stole their Kingship
Wrong.
Too bad you killed your nephews
Karma took him out.
