William Shakespeare's character Richard III in the play of the same name did not physically kill anyone with his own two hands, but rather served as the organizer and master-mind behind numerous murders and deaths throughout the play. He hired assasins to murder Clarence, the two sons of King Edward, and Hastings because he felt they were in the way of his obtaining the throne. The same character also appears in Shakespeare's Henry VI Part III where he does personally kill King Henry and takes part in the killing of King Henry's son.

What is Shakespeare's Richard III about?

The play is about Richard III, man who had been made guardian for a very young king, Edward V, who was 12.

Richard III didn't actually kill everyone. Athough there has been speculation that he killed his nephews (The Princes in the Tower) and his wife, as well as ministers and his subjects, there is not proof that he killed "everyone". Most of it was made up by the Tudors, who defeated Richard III in battle (Bosworth Field).

Conclusion of who killed prince edward III and prince Richard VI?

Edward III was not killed as a prince. He lived a long and fertile life, having a large number of sons, and being succeeded by his grandson when he died of old age. There has never been a Richard VI. If you mean Edward V, say so. He was killed as a prince before being crowned along with his brother Richard (who is never counted as a king)
