It is widely believed that in 1483 Richard III had his two nephews, aged 12 and 9, imprisoned in the Tower Of London and then killed so that he would become king. He is therefore often portrayed as a monstrous villain, and as evil personified. Some historians have lately questioned whether this is an accurate portrayal and that perhaps he does not deserve his monstrous reputation.
