Who did Richard 3rd kill?

Answer 1

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.
