Biography
The series' first episode, "The Foretelling", explains that King Richard III was actually a kind, benevolent ruler who doted on his nephews and that his popular image as a murderous usurper is based on lies spread by his rival, Henry Tudor. Richard wins the Battle of Bosworth Field, but he loses his horse. He is then killed by his great-nephew, Edmund while trying to appropriate Edmund's horse. Edmund does not recognize the King from behind and cuts his head off. The late King's nephew, Richard, Duke of York, Edmund's father, is then crowned as Richard IV. Edmund was haunted by the ghost of Richard, however, only Edmund was able to hear him.
