Download Richard III and the Murder in the Tower AudioBook Free
Since Tudor times, Richard III has been coated as the "black legend", the murderous uncle - however, the simple truth is a lot more complicated and interesting. Richard III is accused of murdering his nephews, the "Princes in the Tower", in order to usurp the throne of Britain, but this reserve tells another story. Instead of looking at all the killings Richard III did not commit, this accounts focuses on the one judicial murder that we know that he was responsible. On June 13, 1483, William, Lord Hastings, was hustled from a gathering of the Royal Council and summarily executed on Tower Green within the confines of the Tower of London. This reserve sheds light on the mystery of this precipitate and unadvised action by the then Duke of Gloucester and reveals the key role of William Catesby in Richard's ascent to the throne of Britain. It clarifies his curious activities during that tumultuous summer of three kings and a conclusion for the destiny of the "Princes in the Tower".
