An oathbreaker, he got richly rewarded by Henry Tudor (the VIIth, usurper) but lost his own son in later years, and left his riches to his grandson.
True to form, the son of Henry VII, Henry VIIIth, decided the grandson was a traitor and had him executed. :^)
Crime pays, you just have to be the payee. :^D
These topics about R3 and H7 and the Tudors in general tend to bring some amusingly bitter feelings to the surface, at least for the advocates of the Tudors. Richard III was the legit monarch, but was murdered on the field by a traitor. As a consequence of this, the Tudors ruled for just five monarchs, and on a more humble note, led to my own birth. :^) So mind your tongues and tempers please.
Is it good?
I thought Black Adder killed Richard III........
We’ve seen the last of good, King Richard
Ring out the past, his name lives on and on
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to good King John
