Richard III has been in the news lately, and today's theme reminded me of his story. When his brother the King died he was named Lord Protector of his nephew King Edward V. Richard moved quickly, escorting the young King to the Tower of London, quickly followed by his other nephew Richard. By August the young King had been declared illegitimate, Richard had been crowned King, and the young princes were never seen again. It is thought that Richard sent a knight, possibly James Tyrrell, to murder them. Not so long ago love truly was a battlefield.
