| Synopsis | With the Wars of the Roses in full swing, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, finds himself on the right side when the House of York take the throne. Richard harbours an ambition to become King. Unfortunately his older brothers and his own nephews stand in his way. For a resourceful fellow with no principles this does not present a problem. Dark deeds inevitably ensue. Temporary success is achieved but a happy ending for the story of one of history's favourite villains (*) seems increasingly unlikely.
* This is only because this bit of history was written by the Tudors. (To the victor, the spoilers.) |
