Richard III

Richard III was one of the most notorious Kings of England and one of the few of Englands Kings to be killed on the battlefield. He ruled from 1483-1485 PLF and his death marked the end of the Middle Ages, and it was therefore celebrated all over England. Richard had become unpopular during his reign and there were rumours circulating that Richard actually murdered his two sons in the tower that they lived in, and after a rebellion led by Henry Tudor (known as the 'War of the Roses') culminated in the Battle of Bosworth Fields, during which Richard III was killed and good old Henry took the throne.

Richard III's skeleton was found hundreds of years later in 2013 PLF, having been buried and abandoned for centuries. After being dug up from under a car park, it was properly buried alongside all the other kings and queens of England in Westminister. Richard was notorious by this era, almost as bad as the son of his successor, Henry VIII, who was renowned for his tyranny and evil.
