Richard III, King of England, ruled from 1483 to 1485 and is one of the most controversial figures in English history. Known for his ruthless ambition and alleged involvement in the disappearance of his nephews, the Princes in the Tower, Richard's reign was marked by political intrigue and violence. Despite this dark reputation, he implemented several progressive reforms during his brief time on the throne. His defeat at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 marked the end of the Plantagenet dynasty and ushered in a new era with the Tudors. Richard III's legacy continues to be debated by historians, with some viewing him as a villainous usurper while others see him as a misunderstood monarch caught up in turbulent times. Regardless of where one falls on this spectrum, there is no denying that Richard III left an indelible mark on English history.
