As Protector, it was his job to secure the prince and bring him into London. Instead, his awful in-laws rushed the boy into sanctuary, cleared out the royal treasury, raised troops against Richard, took control of the navy (although Richard was head of the Admiralty) and generally acted in a highly suspicious manner.

No Protector had ever survived that position in the past. All had been murdered. Richard had a lot of think about in those weeks leading up to the coronation. I blame his brother, King Edward IV, for the foolish way he let his wife’s family take over the Kingdom in his final years.
