    Edward IV youngest brother, Richard, duke of Gloucester was powerful by himself due to Edward giving him lands in the north; this gave him power, men and was far away from court and London.

    After Edward IV died in 1483, a dispute began between to major factions – the Woodvilles and Richard of Gloucester. The Woodvilles were the family of Elizabeth Woodville, Edward’s wife, with whom he shared many children. Edward V, the heir to the throne, was the son of Elizabeth Woodville, and so this put them in a good position. However, Richard of Gloucester was Edward’s brother and had shown himself to be a very useful and successful man to Edward during his reign. They both had their various strengths and weaknesses, and they both wanted the same thing. Control of England.…

    On 22nd August 1485, King Richard III lost the Battle of Bosworth to Henry Tudor. One of the main reasons for him losing was due to his unpopularity with the people and his nobles. Richard was disliked by many of his nobles because he gave power to nobles from the north, which he knew, annoying the nobility in the south of England. This meant that in the battle he had little support, and some of his nobles, such as the Stanley’s fought for Henry. Richard was also disliked by the people of England. He seized the crown in 1483, and rumours spread that he killed his two nephews. This made him disliked, and few people supported him.…

    At the battle of Bosworth field, Richard seems to have had a larger number of fighting men than Tudor and also held the higher ground, however many contemporaries stated that the battle was largely a stalemate, suggesting that Tudor’s preparations for battle had been successful, at least for the fact that he was able to hold his own against an opponent with greater numbers and a more preferable geographical position. It was not until Richard’s fateful “suicide charge”; a charge with the aim of directly attacking the oppositions leader, rather than being explicitly suicidal. Thanks to the Swiss-trained French mercenaries in Henry’s garrison and their tactics never before seen on English soil and Thomas, Lord Stanley’s last minute decision to support Henry, Richard was killed and Tudor took his crown. Thus Henry’s success in replacing Richard of York as king of England, would not be as we know it had Richard not made the dramatic charge that resulted in his death, but whether the success would ever have occurred is still yet to be explored.…

    King Richard’s ability as an actor within a play explores how this type of villainy was entertaining in the era of Shakespeare. Richard’s evil is immediately established as his moral deformities are clearly embodied in his physical deformities. In justifying his premeditated meddling, he personifies war in his first soliloquy. ‘Grim visag’d war hath supported his wrinkled front’ and moved to caper ‘ nimbly in a lady’s chamber!’ Richard’s nature: ‘Deform’d, unfinished’ thus justifies his evil as he cannot participate in the war -lovemaking atmosphere. This was obviously a form of entertainment to the Shakespearean audience who had known of the war of the Roses and Richard’s deformities.…

    In The Deposition of Richard II, it is obvious that the English king was disliked by all. A list of his grievances was drawn up, citing all of his poor choices as king and the reasons why he should be dethroned.

    Throughout King Richard III, the value of kingship is one that is explored greatly. The play’s message about kingship is not only seen through Richard’s deceptive schemes but it is also through the fall of his reign where his conscience begins to show, resulting in the destruction of his power. Not only is Richard’s poor kingship seen through his own realization, but it is also seen through other character’s perception of Richard’s reign. Richard’s poor kingship can be seen through Richmond’s expression of Richard as ‘A base foul stone made precious by the foil of England’s chair, where he is falsely set.’ In this quote, Richmond metaphorically describes Richard as nothing more but a worthless rock only made to appear like a gem because of the throne in which falsely claims. It is through this metaphoric description of Richard as a worthless rock that we are able to comprehend what little skills Richard possesses as a king. The highlighting of Richard’s poor kingship not only helps us to comprehend his devious ways but also understand the importance of the value of kingship throughout one’s reign.…

    Reflecting Elizabethan moral absolutes, Shakespeare acknowledges that a capacity for deception, manipulation and the quest for power is central to the human condition and clearly delineates the complex nature of evil in the character of Richard. Shakespeare dramatically portrays Richard’s villainous intentions and motivations to the Elizabethan audience in the opening soliloquy announcing- “he is made villain” to “usurp” the throne like a symbolic “usurping boar” being physically and morally “deformed” by his craving for power. Subsequently, Richard uses his guises as a tool for deception; he is a passionate lover desperately “wooing Lady Anne” yet a conniving murderer killing her husband, also ironically appearing to be a “loyal loving brother” by eradicating “George” himself. Shakespeare then reaffirms the results of human’s corruption and insatiability for power to the Elizabethan audience as he “proves a villain” must “fall prey to his” own “subtle and treacherous”…
