Richard III | The Making of a Villain

To commemorate the 10 year anniversary of King Richard III's reinterment at Leicester Cathedral, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust collaborated with the King Richard III Visitor Centre to discuss a figure we love to hate (or hate to love...) - Richard III. But was Richard truly the manipulative villain Shakespeare painted him as? Or has history maligned the last Plantagenet King of England? Watch as we separate fact from fiction and uncover the real history behind the infamy. With special thanks to the King Richard III Centre: https://kriii.com/ Visit the centre and discover the real Richard III for yourself: https://kriii.com/your-visit/ticket-p...
