Richard III did not seize the crown on a battlefield. He took it through custody, law, speed, pressure, and the language of necessity.

When Edward IV died in 1483, England was left with a boy king, a divided court, and a political class hardened by decades of civil war. Richard, Duke of Gloucester, appeared to be the obvious protector of his nephew Edward V. Within weeks, however, the protector had become king, the Woodvilles had been broken, Edward IV's children had been declared illegitimate, and the princes in the Tower had vanished into one of history's darkest mysteries.
