In Shakespeare's play Richard III, Richard kills Edward son of Henry VI, Henry VI himself, Clarence, Rivers, Grey, Vaughan, Hastings, his nephew Edward V, his nephew Richard, his wife, and the Duke of Buckingham, the ghosts of whom all rise to plague him on the night before Bosworth Field. In reality, Clarence was executed for very real treason against his brother Edward, Rivers and Grey were executed for treasonably attempting to abduct the princes Edward and Richard, and Hastings was implicated in the same crime. Buckingham led a revolt against Richard and so naturally was executed for treason. The only deaths for which Richard can reasonably be held to account are those of his nephews Edward and Richard who entered the Tower prior to Richard's proclaimation as king and were never seen again.
Also, Henry Tudor kills Richard at the Battle of Bosworth Field.

Because Richard III fought a battle with Elizabeth's grandfather, Henry Tudor, in which Richard was killed (the Battle of Bosworth) and Henry took the crown as Henry VII. Richard was supposed to have been responsible for murdering the boy King Edward V and his little brother - the so-called Princes In The Tower. (Young Edward and his brother were the brothers of Elizabeth of York, Henry VII's wife). Therefore the Tudors hated Richard III and would be pleased with any propaganda against him.
