King Richard III is another English king with a short reign of only two years. Richard III was prime suspect for the murders of the two princes, Edward and Richard.

The two princes mysteriously disappeared and no one close to the king was ever documented to have asked where they went, as they were too scraed for their lives. It is believed that King Richard III killed the princes to take the crown for himself. 150 years later some childrens bones were found but current technologies could not ascertain a date of these bones. They were examined again int he 1930's and the bones were believed to have been as old as the 1480's. Shakespeare portrayed King Richard III as being one of, if not the most evil King. Richard was killed in battle against Henry Tudor (Henry VII). Richard III was the last English king to die in battle.
