He persuades the ailing King Edward IV that his brother the Duke of Clarence endangers the king’s sons, prompting Clarence’s murder in the Tower. After Edward’s death, Richard becomes Lord Protector, removes his nephews, declares them illegitimate and seizes the crown, later sparring with ally Buckingham over their fate.
