- Rhys ap Thomas, a Welsh nobleman and soldier, is believed to have delivered the fatal blow to King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, a crucial act that enabled Henry VII to become king and ended the Plantagenet line. However, the historical narrative has often overlooked Rhys ap Thomas's pivotal role.

Rhys was simply a traitor. He helped to kill King Richard, who had been isolated, dehorsed, and surrounded by William Stanley's army, by striking the King from behind. Rhys had previously sworn to guard Wales from Henry and his foreign army. So much for his character.

That's not how Edmund tells it.
I believe him over your word
According to The Plantagenet, you'd say he was indeed a turncoat, and a traitor to England's anointed king, further, that if that an man, even though he may be The Memelord in disguise, may be a turncoat once, then WHY!! Marry, may he turn his coat again and again. A stain upon the conscience of the great nation of Wales.. Only jokin'.. or AM i? 🤔😁🌟👍
What a daft thing to say. Nowadays not many people believe King Richard killed his nephews 😊
Well , Richard had plenty of opportunities to show his nephews to the public.Yes they were in the Tower of London, but he could have taken them out and paraded them before the public.Also, regardless of how they died Richard could have a joint funeral for both boys at Westminster Abbey and had a public viewing.Letting the common man and woman see them for themselves.People understood that even kings die of disease. They wouldn't think much of the deaths. Richard messed up big time.
😂😂 he murked them for sure. Maybe not personally with his hands but they were in his control. He kept them locked up and he killed them.
Ur ignorance seriously pains me. What both kids just up and both disappeared? GTFOH
He definitely ordered their executions.
@hilda. The custom of the time was to publically display the bodies of important deceased individuals to avoid rebellions in that person's name, or imposter. The fact that Richard did not do so is one reason the boys may have still been alive. Another reason was the behaviour of their mother, who certainly would not have allowed her five daughters and herself out of sanctuary and into Richard's court, if she believed that he killed her sons. Finally, and per the recent report of the Missing Princes Project, Richard of Shrewsbury (the younger prince) came out of hiding on the continent in the early 1490s. He was examined, separately, by young Richard's former servants and by his Aunt Margaret of Burgundy. Not only did he respond correctly to questions about private conversations of the past, but he resembled Edward IV in appearance, and had the same three moles that the young prince was born with. This person was what only Henry the Usurper called "Perkin Warbeck", which was a tactic of deflection and intententional confusion of the public.
By anyone's measure, Richard of York was a bitter monster who by modern evidence we know killed his own two wee nephews and seized the throne. Stone is just looking to line his own pockets in the way that Richard was known to practice deceit to twist those around him like his own twisted body.
Please stop believing Shakespeare and Thomas More. And read more about Richard of course he was a man of his time but he made sure that the common people were heard. He was the one who started bale instead of bailing before sentencing. He changed the economy of the north of England for the best.And there is no evidence at all that he murdered his nephews or even that they were killed at all.twice there have been a court case over this murder and twice he has been declared innocent.
Much of that is Tudor propaganda
@@michellerenner6880 No, it is written in his reign and about him before. He always was a twisted and hateful creature.
@@zworm2 sorry.. must if what we know was written by the Tudor’s…
@@michellerenner6880 Not all of it and not what was written prior to Richard's acts of murder that allowed him to steal the throne.
