Shakespeare portrays Richard as a charismatic leader who uses his powers of linguistics in order to manipulate the other characters within the play to his will. Richard is arguably portrayed as an antihero, who follows his own set of beliefs and loves himself despite common conceptions of him (thus the line Richard: "Richard loves Richard"). However many others feel that his appearance in the play is just a ruse which he has created around himself and that in reality he is simply a villain and a wetting rat.
The plot of Shakespeare's play Richard III takes place after long civil war between the royal family of York and the royal family of Lancaster. England enjoys a period of peace under King Edward IV, but his younger brother Richard secretly desires the throne, and begins killing anyone in his way.
no don't feel sorry for Richard he has brought everything on himself he has killed anyone whos got in his ways he deserves no sypathy
William Shakespeare the poet and playwright wasn't (he was born in 1564). Maybe some other person called Shakespeare was.
I am assuming that you are asking about the character in Shakespeare's plays Henry VI Part III and Richard III, and not about the real king. Although the real king certainly killed people, he just as certainly didn't kill as many as Shakespeare made out. So who all did Richard kill in the plays? We won't count all the soldiers he killed in the course of the War of the Roses, although there were a lot of them, seeing as how he was a great soldier. But he and his brothers killed Edward, son of Henry VI after he was captured in battle, and then Richard went to the Tower and dispatched Henry VI himself. From here on, he does not kill anyone himself, but he hires a couple of murderers to kill his brother Clarence, then has Ratcliff execute Rivers, Grey and Vaughan, has Lovel and Ratcliff execute Hastings, has Tyrell kill his two nephews, and has Buckingham executed by a sheriff. Somewhere in there his wife Anne dies, although it is not explained how. The easy quick reference? In Act V Scene 3 of Richard III the ghosts of Prince Edward, King Henry VI, Clarence, Rivers, Grey, Vaughan, Hastings, the two princes, Queen Anne, and Buckingham all haunt him on the eve of the battle of Bosworth field.
He dedicated the work to Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton. Of 1671
"A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!" Shakespeare, King Richard III, Act V
no
1483-1485 --------------- The Death of King Richard 3rd in 1485 is normally considered the end of the medieval period, and the beginning of the early modern age in England. He was killed in battle by Henry 7th who married Elizabeth, the niece of Richard III and ended the War of the Roses. In Shakespeare's eponymous play, the last words of the character of King Richard III are "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse".
He wrote all of his plays for the same reason: it was his job.
I think King Henry the 7th killed Richard the 3rd in 1485
Richard the 3rd was king of England between 26 June 1483 - 22 August 1485
Richard I the King of England
Richard the Lion-Heart was King Richard I of England.
Richard III was not evil. He had strong, legitimate claim to the throne and took it. Points to make: 1. If this relates to the play by Shakespeare: the playwright to poetic lisence and not everything he wrote is true 2. If this has to do with the Princes in the Tower, there is no evidence he had anything to do with their disappearance.
Richard "Lionheart"
According to reports, King Richard was of slight build, with grey eyes and long brownish red hair.
